Absolutely fascinating behavior happening in my big tank. My adult female mantis, local to California, taking a drink of nectar from a plant it'd never naturally meet: a Nepenthes Ventricosa. The two cohabit this tank, set up for 3 Nepenthes and occasionally flies (food) and baby mantises.

Another fun one was visiting the Vancouver Titans mansion (with permission!) before they moved in and finding a series of very strange paintings everywhere, like this very polite cat with human eyes

Re: sharing this here too, apologies as it doesn't seem like the OP is on bluesky
As for me, besides the whole reddit-famous thing, I think the wrongest I ever was about something in Overwatch was a very funny story I'd been working on OWL for a little bit and got to meet Geoff Goodman, (1/n)

Behaviors! Now that many of my baby crabs are adults or near adults, I've been seeing more crabs more often. I recently caught a crab stealing shrimp food from my amano shrimp. I didn't know how the two species would get along, but seems like other than a bit of bullying they coexist just fine

I don't think this is anything more than a funny coincidence: at the dawn of overwatch 1 a lot of us more-competitively-oriented people (real sickos) really really really wanted to have hero limits and to get rid of 2cp maps. for some reason we adopted the eggplant as our rallying symbol for this

Now that everyone's had some quality time with Perks (PERKS!) it's time to do some Knowledge Sharing! Specifically, because I worked on Perks in my own way, I'd love to address a question I get a lot: what the heck do you, Ben Trautman the Overwatch Analyst, do all day? (1/x)

Was lucky enough to get a table at an authentic Ainu restaurant, if this ends up being the best meal we have on this trip I will neither be surprised or unsatisfied

Recently the largest of the baby crabs (also I have baby crabs!) took up residence in the upper pool of the tank where the pump begins, and subsequently caught them molting!
