The Camouflaged Looper: these caterpillars fashion their own camouflage by collecting flower petals/vegetation and using silk to "glue" the pieces onto their bodies

Though they're often referred to as "camouflaged loopers," these caterpillars are the larvae of the wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerata).

Camouflaged loopers deploy a unique form of self-defense -- they snip off tiny pieces of the flowers upon which they feed, then use bits of silk to attach the vegetation to their backs. This provides them with a kind of camouflage, enabling them to blend in with the plants that they eat.

Some of them create little tufts that run along their backs, while others fashion a thicker camouflage that covers their backs completely. In some cases, the camouflaged loopers will even build much larger bundles that surround their entire bodies.

Their range includes most of North America (from southern Canada down through Texas) and they can feed upon an enormous variety of plants -- so the disguises that these caterpillars build can come in countless colors, shapes, and sizes, incorporating many different flowers and other bits of vegetation.

And this is what the fully-developed moth looks like:

Jimbo Jombo. You have left me no choice. I will NOT stand an attack on my integrity.

This is a callout post on Tumblr user @dom-deserves-everything

//Content warning for himbophobia, dweeb energy, and general gross stuff.

Jimbo is usually seen by the fandom as a nice innocent person, he even calls himself "baby" according to my sources.

But in actuality he is far from baby. He is bastard. He himself admits it while in an in depth interview.

He has also repeatedly harassed me and my children, he went looking for my past art and content without my consent, and has a serious problem with admitting I'm better than him, which is despicable.

This man is out of control, and it has been going on for too long.

He is also the owner of sword, it isn't bad he's just a dweeb.

It's not even enchanted smh

And when confronted about it he is yet again, lashing out.

Calling me names, that is NOT family friendly.

This is BLATANT HIMBOPHOBIA.

Now the biggest piece of evidence against him is the infamous tale of the fart anon.

Everyone can agree this is, absolutely disgusting. But it's even worse the fact that he has drawn ART of it, and spammed me on my dms and inbox. This is a threat to my safety.

This behavior is unacceptable and he is trying to call me out to SILENCE ME so he can keep doing his fart art.

Stand against Jimbo.
