This has the potential to be amazingly funny or nightmarishly horrifying. Personally, I'm of the latter persuasion given the only description provided on tumblr is the forbodingly eerie



I need to find the description, because without it I see the little one trying to imitate the big one, like a baby animal. Plus in my head I keep synching this gif to Billie Jean.

Is this an artistic choice or a folktale creature?

Also his foot is right by the springy door jam, so now I'm picturing a mischievous spirit that likes to spring the door jam when no-one's looking then runs and hides.

I know it's not pronounced that way but now I'm thinking of an ambling piggy wearing the cutest demonic diadem. And now I'm learning the mothers carry their young and this species might have social behaviors and when did this become the cute thread.

I wonder what sort of mutation did that? Or was it a response to a traumatic accident since octopuses can regrow limbs? I bet it was tough on the octopus though :(

Edit: she survived for 5 months after capture and laid eggs that hatched into regular 8-armed octopuses. Bless.

Regarding self-slamming doors: I've witnessed this once in a friend's old double-wide trailer home, had to do with open windows and sliding doors, wind outside, loose door hinges, and the air pressure in the house. Damnedest thing to see even when you know it's just a weird natural phenomenon.

I can't tell if it's the child that's passed on or the father/grandfather. Maybe he looks super-stern because he's trying not to break down since you had to sit still for a long time for photos back then.

I thought it was some sort of rare fungus! That's really neat from an evolutionary standpoint. I wonder if horse breeders or farmers ever have to help remove some? Also sounds like a something you'd use in eldritch spellcasting.

The original image is an art piece portraying a well-known yokai. Apparently someone used/stole it on Instagram to be a creepy account reaching out for clicks. I thought the face was cool and assumed it was a mask or a costume test or something, only stumbled on the twitter thread just now.

I've had those without maggots and they were good. Maggots give it protein making it a complete meal.

I’ve seen mealworms raised specifically for food where they’re “gut loaded” with citrus and apples their whole life, so they end up tasting like fruit. I wonder if anyone’s considered snack cake-flavored mealworms?

A quick search says these beetles have a defense of excluding a sticky film that hardens in air, which is how they get stuck there. I wonder why the dog would try to eat them to begin with though? Accidental while eating grass?

A maggot is just a term for fly larve. Boyfly larve most definitely eat living tissue and are maggots.

I thought botflies just burrowed in as part of their maturation process? Reminds me of at least two incidents, one more recently on twitter, where an entomologist studying in a tropical area ended up with a botfly strike and were excited to see themselves parasitized and watch their larval pal mature.

Giant House Spiders will charge at you tho. Possibly because they know we call them Giant House Spiders and it's puffed up their egos.

I always thought this was a combination of them looking for shade/a hiding place? Although depending on the part of the world you’re in a giant house spider could be a few different varieties. All the better though since most spiders can’t really change direction on the fly, so it’s easy to corral them into something to relocate, even huge ones.

On wasps, a few years ago we had a nest show up in a bush in front of our house, some red and black striped sort that didn’t build beyond the size of a large fist. At no point did they try to sting folks, not even a gardener trimming in that area. It’s said wasps recognize people, so maybe we were all non-threats?

Ah, my wife works with these! Hers just "gave birth" this week, which means there were about 40,000 spider crab zoea swimming through the tank, all of which had to be fished out and put in a more suitable habitat. The babies prefer to be near the surface, then they grow up and sink down to the abyssal depths to live out their terrifying existence in peace.

Another one is carrying her own clutch of eggs, so soon it's going to be 80,000 baby giant crabs.

This is absolutely wonderful, I envy her job.

The creepy part to me isn’t so much making old photos move, but they all move the same way regardless of age, muscle placement, or era. None of the little quirks a the living person might have had like a brow twitch, a smirk, a subtle wink....nothing that really defines that person as a human who once lived.
