Since I'm almost as old as television, I have seen a LOT of crossover episodes. This, hands down, is the BEST "crossover" I have ever seen, in any medium, in MY ENTIRE LIFE. Thank you.
i think Harvestman would have been a much better name for the movie than Longlegs, a title that only became more obtuse in light of this historic subXstack event
Thank you for not including the spider pics!!! Question for Emma, why are moths so fluffy? Are butterlifes fluffy too and we just don't see it cause their bodies are skinnier, or...?
This is a great question! Lots of bugs are "hairy" in their own ways, and the hairs serve different purposes depending on the bug. Moth body fluff has two purposes: temperature regulation and camouflage. Since they're active at night, when temperatures are cooler, they need some extra insulation. And the fluffiness obscures what would be a very obvious insect shape to any predators hunting for moths at night, either by sight or by sound. Butterflies also have "fur" all over their bodies, but it's much shorter and thinner than moths'. You can see it if you get veryyy close.
This fact is maybe not "fun" for anyone but me but a lot of tarantulas have "urticating hairs" that rub off of their bodies and get into the eyes and skin of predators to irritate them and make them go away. Hair as a weapon!
