We always talk about how autistic adults are adults, and that's true. but shoutout to the autistics that :

age regress

pet regress

don't feel human

are age stunted by trauma

who feel like a teen/child for whatever reason

who want to be a child again

New Zealand giraffe weevil, Lasiorhynchus barbicornis, Brentidae

The New Zealand giraffe weevil is a species of straight-snouted weevil endemic to New Zealand. This species shows extreme sexual dimorphism: females can measure as long as 50mm while males can be as large as 90mm, with a snout as long as their body. Weevil larvae tunnel in wood for as long as two years before emerging as adults, but adults live only a few weeks.
