Munchipede update: she's getting big, one oak leaf at a time 💚

I spend so much time at my home away from home that I get to watch my children grow. She's just munching her way through the leaf in a neater fashion than I can do cutting a pizza

(Isla textula, the crowned slug moth)
Large flat green slug caterpillar lined with spiny tubercules and 2 little red horns on her head, halfway through an oak leaf The view from under the leaf, the creature's mouth beneath the 2 little horns methodically turning Leaf into Caterpillar

Eric Adams is an incredibly strange man
Chase Williams & @ChaseWilliams_• 1d New York City Mayor Eric Adams is on Capitol Hill today. X He tells me about Zohran Mamdani announcing he's moving into Gracie Mansion: "Beware of the ghost. I told [Zohran] about it. So the ghost is there. It's a friendly ghost, as long as you're doing right by the city. If you don't become right by the city, he turns into a poltergeist."
