Just Ordered Screenprinted Shirts Of This Design… IM SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED :0000

Shout-out to the little girl at work who started crying when she saw a tarantula not because it was scary but because “it’s so fuzzy and I can’t pet it because there’s glass”.

Stained glass is not talked about enough

Tumblr for some reason is not letting me publish asks but anyway…

The fuzzy fur-like stuff that covers a lot of moths is actually modified scales, like the scales on their wings, made of a substance called chitin, rather than keratin as in mammal hair. Chitin also makes up their exoskeleton. Wing scales are used to absorb heat, possibly to assist with flight, and to display colors/patterns as defense/camouflage or to attract a mate. The fuzz on their body is thought to muffle the sonar of predatory bats as well as keep them warmer in the chilly night air. Unlike mammal hair, though, these scales are not continually growing and cannot be replaced if lost or damaged.

Here’s a fun extreme macro photo of a sunset moth’s wing scales and longer modified hair-like scales:
