These pinchers actually also have a use in mating, or better phrased, to attract females. The more well-formed the pinchers are and the more they align, the more beautiful the male is and the more attractive the male is to the female.

What Do Earwigs Do With Those Pincers Anyway? | Deep Look

Earwigs are equipped with some pretty imposing pincers on their rear, and they're not afraid to use them. But when it comes to these appendages, size isn't everything.

That's okay! Thanks for the tipps anyway, Doctor! ...I also think I may or may have broken my scapthoid when I was was driving around with one of those e-scooters in my human form the other day. ...And I may or may not have waited for the symptoms to becomes better when they only became worse for five weeks! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘😚😅😬🥺🙃🙂🥲🥹☺️😌✨👀💯👉🏻👈🏻

Hello doctor Watson! Just a quick question; How often should a hip normally be able to move out of socket (thanks to hip dysplsia)? 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘☺️😉😌😁😳😭😅🥺🥹😇👉🏻👈🏻

😃😧😰

If you have a diagnosis then your doctor should know severity and those questions should be directed at them. If it's a severe anomaly then there are treatment options/surgery.

It's important to talk about options with your doctor early as this is a classic condition that worsens over time, especially if you develop arthritis. Surgery is far more successful in those without arthritis in the hip.

So, please make sure to check this out with your doctor sooner rather later. As much as I'd love to help, I'm not sure I can work with such small equipment for your tiny arachnid body.

The way the crocodile gives that criminal offensive side-eye, as if daring to copy it and see what happens! 😂🤣

LITERALLY me when talking about spiders.

POV you made a popular post about insects

Yay for the hand getting better and glad you're alright! My wrist on the other hand hurts and the curse of the red well is onto me this week! But I'm happy to hear from you again and hope that you'll be around more often once in a while again! 🕷️❤️

@talking-tarantula

Hi, I'll answer this here with just an answer on, I don't know, that? This is my mod account, I've talked about that stuff plenty but I know you weren't around when it happened. I don't talk about that on the roleplay account, I made this mod account to talk about anything roleplay related that- well wasn't roleplay. Mod posts!

I think the only person that was "replaced" was the sherlock account, everyone else after either: Left John, is either John or their friend, Stayed neutral/Was not posting at the time.

Their Jim is a replacement, but John did not replace me aha. He just had an opening after I left. It's a little bit of a, difference.

I'm okay, personally. I had a hand injury at the time and it was going not good, so mostly I left the situation behind. I have friends, I have support, I have a real life. This situation helped me step back a lot and, well, focus on my real life rather people online who can turn on you for funsies I guess. I prefer real life. So I haven't been around since.

My hand's getting better, after a few surgeries it's, getting better! ... So yeah. Not much now, I've just been focusing on work mostly. We had a large order we had to work on for awhile, and currently running the shop while our boss is out on vacation. Don't want to toot my own horn, but we're pretty important these days. Training to be the boss, so it's a fun little practice run.

Granted that was this week, so I'm off now. Long weekend, which is always nice because it's my anniversary (won't say which day) so we have a lot of plans.

I'm very happy to see you on tumblr again, I very much missed you during that time you were away. <3

...Totally didn't already losse half my legs! Good thing I still have a hooman form to turn into! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘☺️😉😌😁😳😇😅🥺🥹✨👉🏻👈🏻

Hewwo! Guess what! I became a bird mommy to a beautiful () female crow just this morning and she's a precious, very non-aggressive and super chill sweetheart! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘🥳😁😌😉😳🥺🥹☺️😇✨👉🏻👈🏻

And here I believed I have seen everything.

I was, yes! And lost my account (shame-of-chimical) unfortunately. I was both stunned and a bit heart-broken at first when I saw that John and Sherlock "broke up". But maybe that was for the best. At least so it seems. Both have new roleplay partners as well by now. But it wasn't as good without you anyways! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘☺️😉😌😁🥳🥹🥺✨👉🏻👈🏻

Cute

Lestrade! My goodness, it's been so long! It's very nice to see you again and have you back here on Tumblr! How have you been in the meantime? And thank you for the compliment! I appreciate that! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘☺️😉😌😁🥳🤭🥹🥺✨👉🏻👈🏻

Hey!! I think I’ve seen a relative of your around recently their home was like a trapdoor. Do you have a big family? Or small one? (＾－＾)?

Oh! There are many Thraphosidae to go around! I'm guessing you perhaps live somewhere in Australia, yes? Or perhaps in a warmer country, outside of Europe? Trapdoor-spiders, like the atrax robustus for example, often live there! But those are also much more venomous and deadly than myself. Theyalso are quite vicious and aggressive, but not any less beautiful! So yes! I guess, that gives me a pretty large family! 🕷️❤️🥰😍😘☺️😉😌😁🥳🥹🥺✨👉🏻👈🏻

Hi! God I missed you so much!) Welcome back!

Thanks! And sorry for getting to answering this late!

Lots have been going on actually in the life outside of Tumblr. I was in Sweden for two and a half month without any Wi-fi and got my hip placed back in place properly.

It was out of place, due to a hiking accident seven years ago and the doctors (of course 🙄) didn't find a thing and didn't know what's wrong with me, when even I could feel a the bone of my hip sticking up against my skin and against my right groin bone.

Due to always only laying around and pumping myself full of strong painkillers (that didn't even help and were very bad for my heart) to at least cope with the daily pain a little better, I got scoliosis and my muscles in legs and back went pretty much bye-bye, which is why I'm still quite unstable and have to wear a corset (which is annoying).

I've also had water in my thighs. In fact, so much that I couldn't even bend my knees properly anymore. And I was pigion-toeing very heavily to the point where my toes would almost touch each other or I would stumble over them often, while I was only walking on the outer space of my feet because of the hip misplacement.

Thanks to the treatment though I can finally walk properly and I'm not in pain anymore. I also lost a lot of weight during treatment with luke-warm lemon water to manage to discharge the trabbed water in my thighs and around my stomach. So now I'm about half my former weight! I lost 18 inches around the stomach.

Since I hope to go to Sweden again someday, I'm currently trying to learn Swedish and it's going quite good so far!

Recent events also had it that I got to care for a carrion crow! I suspect that it's a female and called her Elischeba, or Elli for short. My Mom found her in the morning when she went out for work barely three weeks ago.

Right now Elli is undergoing a worm treatment. These worms are living and multiplying in her lungs and giving her trouble breating, so they got to go.

However, when I made my way to the vet the first time to deliver a poop sample to the vet with my E-scooter, I've spontanously decided to pick beef with the pavement and it went out 1:0 for the pavement (According to a friend of mine the scooter said aveda kedavra 😂). After my tumble to the ground I felt very dizzy, disoriented and very nausous. And my hearing went woosh for a few minutes.

Though the X-ray didn't show a thing and I suspect it's just simply heavily sprained. I still can't move or bend my wrist and it started bruising pretty badly. But I think that it'll be fine in the end.

That was the update so far :)

Washing machines are like indoor swimming pools for clothes ._.

I feel half dead and for some reason I'm expiriencing dizziness, nausea at the moments, and slight pain in the ear drums at certain movenments. But my sweet little pet crow does make me feel a little better at least.

I've already had an X-ray taken at my wrist as well but nothing could be found. There is also no sweeling or discoloration. Therefore I guess that it's probably just really sprained. But the hip is definitely a problem. 🕷️❤️😭

Bit not good little human moment: I've spontanously decided to jump off my e-scooter yesterday and smooch the pavement. At full force. Now I can't move my wrist anymore and my fingers only partly because it hurts like hell. My left hand is now utterly and completely useless, and my right hip is out of place (again. Hip dysplasia is a bitch). I hope your days have been better than mine... 🕷️❤️😭

Indeed, the limitations of the physical human form, an inconvenience. That happens to me sometimes too, overestimating what my physical form can endure and then damaging it in the process. Sadly we do have to take care of transport, and are trapped in it's limitations. It's probably better to not spontaneously jump of things, I know that from experience. Especially jumping from things moving with high velocity sounds like a recipe for disaster. Be more careful in the future. The damage you are describing sounds significant, you should probably visit a doctor. Until you see a doctor you should try to rest the affected limbs, cool them and take some analgesics. You probably also have skin lesions which you should disinfect too. I hope that the damage is not too bad and just sprains with no permanent damage. I wish for your swift recovery, and that the pain is minimal.

It could easily join germany's next topmodel and win the whole thing.

i adore bugs. you're telling me THIS

is a real, living animal. and what is it called?

Gongylus gongylodes

...Now I really wanna sniff an ahpeloria virginiensis. Thanks. Are there any such awesome awesome critters running around in Germany somewhere by any change? I know that it's being said that theraposidae like the phoneutria and lycosidae like the sparrasidae appearantly wandered to Germany. But so far, I had no luck finding one unfortunately.

do millipedes spray cyanide? i relocated a couple while cleaning my yard and now i'm mildly concerned

the millipedes that release hydrogen cyanide release it as a gas. these include various flat-back millipedes, although there’s plenty of flat-backs that just use a benzoquinone-based fluid defense chemical, which is what many other common millipedes produce (including the round-backed juliforms one often finds in the yard). in either case, you’d need to swallow a millipede for it to do you any great harm.

Apheloria virginiensis is one local to me, and I am guilty of picking them up when on walks in the woods to smell the cyanide: it’s a fragrant scent of almonds or cherries.

cyanide-producing millipedes, since their defense chemical is gaseous, really can’t hurt you unless you’ve already ingested the millipede or are like huffing dozens of them, which would both be probably be actions deserving of consequences.

other millipedes’ liquid chemicals usually just smell foul, like burning rubber. most millipedes under 3-4 cm aren’t going to pack much of a toxic punch at all. some of the larger tropical species in the Spirobolida and Spirostreptida can cause caustic burns if it isn’t washed off soon with detergent or if you have very sensitive skin. I’ve harassed plenty a Narceus and gotten some yellow, later dark purple stains on my hands, but that was the extent of it.

*I scream in terror and scurry off, scaring the shit out of a few dozen people in the bar as I flee.*

Tarantula: May I have a coke please

Waitress: All we have is Pepsis is that okay?

*Tarantula sweating nervously*: Y-you have what

Frollo smirks

Can I join? I've never been to France either. 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍😭😁😋🥳😳🥹🥺☺️😌😉😇👉🏻👈🏻 *Cleans my fangs*

"Hello Irene," the Doctor smiled as he walked out of the TARDIS for their weekly trip in time and space. The Doctor had been enjoying their time traveling together and had just the idea for a place to go today. "How do you feel about France?" he asked her.

Never been. By which I mean, I'd love to be in France. Are you offering?

You're not enjoying being alive very much, do you? 🕷️❤️🥰😘😍😭😳🥹🥺☺️😌😉😇👉🏻👈🏻

The mayfly man... *Small smile* The mayfly man is... here today. *Let's glass of campagne fall to the floor.* Uh... Sorry, I...

Male small mayfly, Baetinae, Baetidae

Male small mayflies in the family Baetidae differ from females in that they have seven eyes rather than five - 3 simple eyes, 2 compound eyes,and 2 turbinate eyes on top of the head. These upward-facing eyes are thought to be used for spotting females during aerial mating.

So I was in Sweden for two and a half month and it was great! Unfortunately I couldn't access my mobile data (we didn't have wifi) for some reason and whatever I tried to make ot work didn't change anything!

When I went into Tumblr though when I did have wifi (at someone else's place) I couldn't access my old account ( @shame-of-chimical ) anymore so I had to set up a new one.

But I'm happy to be back and I missed you guys (I really missed spending time with Irene, sitting on Jim's nice and warm hand and Sherlock's awesome deductions and scientific explanation about things, but also I missed talking to Harry and the banter between John and Sherlock for example!)

But on that note, hello to @twireneadler, @criminalisticonsultant, @consult-sherlockholmes, @consultjohnwatson , @mrs-hudsons-blog, @mrs-turners-blog, @atamh, @antheaisntmyname, @therealharrywatson, @a-victorian-girl, and @everyone else that I might not have mentioned in my post! 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️🥺😭☺️😌😋😁😉😇🥳

Any flies you wanna get rid off by the way? @consult-sherlockholmes said there were some around your flat and that they are annoying to you. 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌🥳😋😉😁

Hi John! I've missed halking to you! I tried to tag you in my post about the new account but I don't know if you were sucessfully tagged in it! Anyways, hello again! 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌😉😁🥺🥹😭

Hello there!

Ah, no I didn't see it but welcome back!

Absolutely! I'm always up for some good food! 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌🥳😋😉😁

Stingy flies! Yummy! Also I can't wait to keep learning from you how to deduce things! And thanks for the infos, they're not only needed but also moch appreciated! You really have no idea how much I've missed you, along with everyone else. The only thing left that I really miss is my old username, so yes, I do agree with you on the matter that the old username was better. 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌😉😁🥺🥹😭😇😳😋🥳

Hey there Sherlock! I'm back! I hope you've been well and I hope you still keep up those awesome, braincell-revieving, scientific explainations about stuff like insects or arachnids like myself! 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌😋🥳😉😁🥺🥹😳😭

I had noted your absence, and wondered where my second favourite arachnid had gone (the title of favourite arachnid still goes to @criminalisticonsultant, apologies). So your return is much appreciated. Welcome back, I had missed your questions and comments. But I will miss your old name, @shame-of-chimical. Reminiscent of better times. However, there have been some major changes during your absence. If you want to know more about it, I would advise you to read this post, some further information here, and if you have any more questions please direct them to my consulting assistant @veritassempervincit. But I do have some insects for you, as I have been bee watching last weekend.

Alrighty! I'll be there for the meal! Are you coming along, @criminalisticonsultant? 🕷️🥰😘😍❤️☺️😌😉😁🥺🥹😋🥳
