One Of My Favorite Things About Using Inaturalist Is How It’s Gotten Me Familiar With Even The Common,

one of my favorite things about using inaturalist is how it’s gotten me familiar with even the common, less “impressive” species. especially since spring is rolling around and I’m spending more time outside.

Like, before where I’d just say, “oh look, a butterfly!” now I can say “oh look, a mourning cloak!”

Instead of “a squirrel” it’s “a fox squirrel.” Instead of “a snail” it’s a “garden snail.” Instead of “a rabbit” it’s “a desert cottontail.” Instead of “a ladybug” it’s “an asian lady beetle, which is invasive.” Instead of “a lizard” it’s “a bluebelly, but they’re really called western fence lizards.”

It’s harder to take the little guys for granted when you know their names, y’know?

hii so i might just be stupid LOL but i downloaded your sheep dog ears cc for werewolves thinking the bangs were merged in with them, but for the LIFE of me i cant seem to find them in game? do you know where u have them placed to show up or something like that?

Hi! No worries, they aren't included with the file, they're actually some accessory bangs by Atashi77- I can't recall which exactly, but if you go to her blog & search bangs you should be able to find em ^^
