I think old people are just not equipped to survive on the internet

I think its people in general

During lock down when people were at home and having to amuse themselves some made bread and did arts and crafts, whilst others ended up jumping off a cliff into conspiracy theories and right wing bollocks

One guy I know of suggested ivermectin and dog dewormers to treat my bf’s cancer because ‘cancer is caused by parasites… there’s plenty of information on the internet… you can do your own research…etc etc’

I used to think the average person was mostly decent and sensible, but not anymore

Me too, not that it matters, I’ve already sent in my postal vote…just curious to see if I’ve fucked it up

Edit grammar

All the outside clutter looks too clean and brand new for a British exterior, no green mold or rust courtesy of the weather

Aww thank you!

I’m glad you enjoyed it… I worked quite long and hard on it, trying to find tricks that were suitable and hopefully a bit different, as well as some beautiful treats scattered in the minefield 😀

Don’t get too excited, it may turn out to be crap, but fingers crossed!

Hope you subscribed for more nudibrach fun 😀

Not ugly… it’s just the highly infectious ‘Steve Irwin uncontained enthusiasm’ of wanting to get up close and personal, and finding out whilst you’re doing it that you probably shouldn’t have

I miss Steve

A lot of nudis seem to be cannibals, I don’t know whether this is from preference or accidentally hoovering up the much smaller ones, probably worth investigating

Also the man o wars definitely need a post of their own, I love how some sea creatures look like individuals but are giant colonies… then again we have slime molds terrestrially and us humans, and we’re a bit like a giant colony of bacteria wearing a person trench coat

I’m glad to have learned a bit about your favourite nudi, they’re stunning creatures in every way (btw I have a special nudi post for Halloween, something fun and not very serious) 😀

Beautifully written, much better than my attempt to describe the camouflage from the different viewpoints, thank you! 👍

and steal the stinging cells from them to make their own attack and defense… pretty hardcore

Thank you, check out invertebrates for some of my other posts 👍

Agreed…

[They have] a painful sting and symptoms similar to those of its prey [Portuguese man o’ war]. These include nausea, vomiting, and pain. source

Beautiful, but no touching

…and stingy! 😈

I think lemmy needs some nudibranch emojis

I like how you’re thinking… also a shrimp jockey jauntily attached to the head at the side (like a head broach)

Fuch yeah! That is amazing!

So many possibilities… Something frilly or sleak? Maybe neon/pearlescent? Spots, stripes? An Aeolid with a garnish of cerata, or a Dorid with a branchial plume? And don’t forget a pair of magnificent rhinophores and optional Emperor shrimp jockey!

Holy shit I’m really excited for you! And I’m not the one making the costume or going to the party!

In fact as an autistic person I’d just spend hours of fun making a costume, and then not go to the party… just wear it at home

You’ll have to post your outfit when it’s done 😀

Dammit! That’s a much better title…why didn’t I come up with that?

You’re welcome, also do checkout the other underwater photos he has, they’re full of beautiful things 👍

Lol, I left a lot of photos out too!

The sex lives of hermaphrodites is really interesting to read up on, I’ll probably do something similar on [email protected]…there’s loads of freaky creatures out there

Part 2 is going to be eggs, larvae and mini-nudis, but I’m off on holiday soon so maybe a 2 week or more wait, unless it rains a lot

Reverse cowboy and side saddle

…and on top of fornicating nudis, anything goes under the sea!
