Wow those are awesome pictures!

The only one I can think of is when I went on vacation last November. We went to an aquarium and it was great being able to look at the different fish and actually be able to tell what it was. I felt so smart!

Though when I started to realize I was imagining how many bells I could get for certain fish.....things gotta a little wierd. :(
 
I am a collector of weird* things, and I came across someone selling goliath beetles, I had the sudden urge to get all of the most expensive "island beetles" and make a shadow box full of them and have a label saying something like "Emergency Fund." Except people in my real life wouldn't understand it I don't think, I still fully intend to do it eventually.

*read: dead and all around creepy, witcy-esc.
 
Japanese Oak Silk Moth.

By the way, I start to freak out upon hearing the name "Marshal" because of the squirrel character who has that name.
 
The animal crossing moth is a Japanese species, probably Antheraea yamamai. Mine was Antheraea polythemus. Still a silk moth though!
 
Real life ACNL moment for me is accidentally falling into a tree and bumping down a wasps nest and having to run inside to avoid being stung! :p
 
I was watching Ojamajo Doremi in YouTube since I used to love the show when I was young, and it happens that Doremi, the show's main character, has a sister called POPPY. And I was like TnT Why did Poppy have to go?!
 
I now shake trees to get fruit. I also know the difference between lots of beetles and sea creatures.
 
I started noticing that there a lot of giant beetles around where I live, and I'm able to recognize a lot of them. I tend to avoid them, though, cause I'm afraid of getting bitten. I mean, they do bite, right? :-/
 
one time I was cleaning out my closet and deciding on what things to get rid of


and my mindset is "I'll get rid of what I don't use and if I need it again i can order it from my catalogue"


I felt so dumb

they don't actually
 
Anything with a mouth can bite. You pick up beetles by their back anyway so they can't reach you. Stag beetles have troubles biting because their antlers block them but they are still capable of it.

The question is how hard the bite will be, some smaller ones will just feel like a pinch, some like the wood-boring beetles develop strong biting power and hurt.

I always find myself paying attention to floor path designs and wondering what they'd look like as acnl paths :0

edit: same for clothes, actually, i keep imagining them as pro designs.

Where I live we get some really big beetles, ones that I see a lot are Pine Sawyer beetles, which kind of remind me of if the longhorn and tweezer bug had a baby. They are pretty big juicy suckers, I caught one that had injured it's wing and put it out of it's misery and dried it so I could keep it. I have a dead bug collection so it's cool to add to it. (I don't usually kill bugs but this guy kept trying to fly and got stuck in our garage so it was only a matter of time for him anyways... I usually find my bugs dead.) Also we have some pretty massive moths around where I live too, so it's cool seeing them. ALSO I found a big leaf bug. lots of bug related things for me, which is awesome cause I love bugs.

OH scorpions too. When I lived in a more tree-y area of my when I live we used to get babies in our house all the time. They were only like an inch long. But when they're on your ceiling like a spider it's terrifying!
