Banana Slugs My Beloved !!

Acanalonia conica is a charming leaf-mimicking planthopper that’s very common where I live. during the day its eyes are white with brown lines, but at night or in the dark they change to a deep red.

presumably this aids in night vision, since many groups of insects like mantises, katydids, and plant bugs show a similar change in eye color between day and night

when was the last time you saw a weevil this big

The largest weevil in North America, the palmetto weevil (Rhyncophorus cruentatus) lays eggs in the crowns of palms, where the grubs feed and often kill their host in the process.

In Florida it’s considered a major pest due to its habit of destroying ornamental palm trees, but native palmettos and sabal palms (the weevils’ natural hosts) are rarely harmed unless they’re already stressed or damaged. It’s mostly date palms and other exotic species planted along city streets that can’t take the heat and need to be drenched with insecticide to ensure survival.

I think we’re really not appreciating limpets enough. They’re just a snail with extra shell and they’re equally adorable
