They really do.

I want my monstera to get that big someday! I hope you had a great time yesterday!

That’s so nice! Now tell me about that spider plant in the corner.

Good at being under the radar! The county has always been in the range extent, but didn’t always have a specimen record! There’s a bat species that’s the same way. There’s technically documentation from echolocation call recordings but there isn’t a specimen for it yet (to my knowledge…) lol

Thank you! I’m very proud of that one and it’s the county record specimen for the species! I remember pulling SO many tissue samples from him to send to all these other natural history collections for genetic research and tissue labs since he was the first catalogued record for that area lmfao

Steph lore: I once worked in a small natural history collection (worked and collected under permits and employed by an accredited collection!) and some of my best study skin preps were a barn owl and an eastern spotted skunk I found dead on the highway Imfao

🦨🦉💀🌿

All baggies claimed! Thank you!!!!

A point of warning with the de-skunk… It doesn’t save. Do not leave it bottled LOL it will blow up.

Mix it in a mason jar, soap up, promptly rinse then TOSS DOWN THE BATHTUB/SHOWER DRAIN LOL

Time to make my cozy little bed in the animal room for when I spend the night.

For those that miss the quote post, baggie #1 is claimed!
