Red pandas are indeed The Cutest, being the real world animals that most closely resemble Nummymuffin Coocolbutter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The bug in Wikipedia's picture of the day skeeves me. Partially because that's one weird-fuck head, and partially because they're common, not small, and I've never seen one before.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

bon bon, if you didn't see the bug that bit you it might be worth getting checked out just in case it is a virulent bite. Say, ferinstance, a brown recluse bit you, you would end up losing all the skin in the effected area.

that mole cricket looks a lot like what we call potato bugs. ita, you're welcome to come turn over the stones in our back yard if you'd like to be totally skeeved in person.

Common but rarely seen. I hope this doesn't lead to that phenomenon where you see a reference to a thing and then start seeing it everywhere. Red Pandas I would be happy to see everywhere. Mole Crickets, nsm.

Stay out from under the rocks in my back yard.

That doesn't look like the same bug to me. But I am extremely bad at identifying insects.

Oh no, not the same bug at all, but (imho) almost as disturbing and possibly more common.

Art Crawl!!!

For comparison, that's taller than most giraffes....

Excellent.

Ah, ok. Knowing they are under my feet somewhere doesn't bother me much, there are a lot of things down there, after all. if they start showing up on billboards trying to sell me soup or something, I will be disturbed.
