manticore eggs

liezl:

did you figure out your insect?

me:

oh no i'm sorry i got distracted by your foods

and began hunting this world fare bus down

that's the egg case

it was on the back of a lettuce leaf but i flicked it off pretty easily

it didn't damage the leaf at all

and none of my lettuce has been eaten at all

i think it might be ladybugs but i'm not positive

liezl:

wait what am i looking at

oh fuck w hat the fuck is that

the honeycomb thing?

me:

yeah

its tiny

it was like the size of my thumbnail

but i never saw anything like it before

they look kinda similar

liezl:

that would be cool if it as ladybugs

me:

knowing my luck it's probably like, the manticore

liezl:

but the egg casing looks like pin heads on this picture

me:

yeah

liezl:

hahaha

me:

i put them in a puddle anyway just to be sure

like if it was moths or something

but all the bugs i've seen lately have been good ones, lots of butterflies and ladybugs and earthworms

nothing's been chewed on

liezl:

ewww

bertha armyworm?

me:

wow i have no idea what that is

time for google

except those eggs aren't honeycomb patterned

me:

this says it's a big problem in alberta

but i think we're too far south for it

ew thing looks nasty though

liezl:

stink bug eggs? www.utextension.utk.edu/fieldCrops/cotton/cotton_insects/images/SG-Stink-Eggs.jpg

me:

maybe

and i know we have those here

liezl:

or they're mini bees

me:

dang, maybe i should have like, put them in a jar

like tiny tiny bees?

liezl:

yeah

a new breed of bees

more potent

powerful

faster

me:

cuter!

THE MOST ADORABLE BEES

liezl:

with stingers like swordfish

me:

the biggest parts of their bodies are their heads and the biggest part of their heads are their soulful puppy-dog eyes

and stingers

also, somehow instead of venom they sting you with guilt

liezl:

manufactured to deceive you in their cuteness

me:

hahahaha

fuck

me:

wow

that'd be a sick pet

liezl:

why does that exist

why

me:

put it on a little leash of dental floss

tie to a tree in the backyard

invite the squeamish over and wait

HILARITY ENSUES

i think because nature loves a good prank

mother nature, the original ashton kutcher

liezl:

FUCK YOU NATURE

me:

hahaha

"people are gonna pollute? ok, i'll make giant bugs that look just like leaves"

i think humans brought that on ourselves

liezl:

nature's transformers
