Nature-inspired memes

[vreinkymov]

Maybe these are a better fit for this topic? I think you may ask forum administrators to reopen/move there:

• What are some nature related nicknames you’ve come up with?

Great list, though! Reminded me of Mirabilis laevis which is obviously a misspelling of “Miserable leaves”.

I had to clear out a handful of things on my phone and found some things. I thought y’all would appreciate!

This was shared by National Moth Week:

Upvoted for encouraging people to seek out less charismatic wildlife, though the obvious response is that not everyone lives somewhere that has a backyard. I live in an apartment and don’t have one so mothing means taking a bus to somewhere else.

Or leaving a window open and a light on?

Could be inviting more than moths, depending on who your neighbors are. I don’t see raccooning becoming a popular activity, for instance.
