A deer nibbled at my dragon fruit cactus, not Khorne. Assassin bugs are fantastic generalist predators and this nymph hitched a ride on my plants as I took them indoors for the winter. I'm keeping it around as pest control and hopefully some others will join it. Aphids for the Aphid God.

    That's really cool. Bugs are so neat. They have such a crazy array of chemical weapons, defenses and tools

    I'm pretty ok with my life but sometimes I wish I could go back in time and become a biologist instead of a life-enthusiast

      I hate that my horticulture degree only included one entomology course which was half-assed. They're such a critical part of my work but a big blind spot for me scientifically.
