Since we’re talking about eurypterids, let me just remind you that if I had a time machine I would totally already be dead from trying to touch a giant Devonian chelicerate

The most British PSA you’ll ever read
And also completely wrong in every way.
The Bee:
- Not a bee but a bumblebee.
- Lives in small colonies (15-20 workers).
- Doesn’t produce more honey than is needed for offspring.
- Doesn’t sting at all.
The actual bee:
- Bees don’t die out of courtesy when they sting, they make sure that whatever they sting stays the fuck away from any bees in the future by leaving the stinger and poison glands behind inside the attacker to keep pumping poison. Also makes sure that the bee only stings if absolutely necessary for the survival of its brethren of the hive.
- Does not give a toss what you think about it’s “job”.
- Very endangered. Protect at all costs. Plant ALL THE FLOWERS! Everywhere!
- Buzzing is a side-effect of staying afloat through magic.
The Wasp:
- Cleaner. Keeps pests and carrion away by feeding it all to their larvae, or otherwise dispose of it. These guys keep all the other, actually harmful, crawlies at bay.
- Does bugger all if you don’t fuckin’ sit on them or panic when they go near your jam-crusted lips that smell like high-sucrose liquids that’s their only sustenance. Just wave at them and they’ll buzz off. Or place a jam-filled whatever away from you or something. They’re smart enough to go for that instead of near the giant angry pink mountains of flesh that might kill them.
- WILL EAT ALL OF YOUR WOODEN FURNITURE! They make their nests out of paper. And unless you want hundreds of lovely straight lines on all of your wooden stuff, treat that shit with something or cover it up when not using it.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.
Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!
