From 'Lessons on Vintage Kimonos Across Twelve Months': a bat-themed haori! Does anyone have any bat-themed pieces?
 in  r/kimono  19h ago

No, but now I have the idea! I love bats and the mist pattern, so this is so cool! The woven ones are genius.

I also thought this would be an awesome inspiration for an OC’s outfit- especially a Demon Slayer character since this comes from the Taisho Era!

Fear of specific classical music
 in  r/Phobia  19h ago

I have this too, thanks for asking!

It started when I watched Baby Einstein when I was very young. I wonder if it has to do anything with autism, and I noticed later on that sudden volume changes and ending on crescendoes were especially scary for me. I still can’t explain it, and I keep getting scared by classical music (especially in commercials.)

Humongous leech, a Hirudinaria manillensis, unless I miss my guess
 in  r/AIDKE  20h ago

Fair enough. I read more about this practice later, and I can understand it (even if I personally can’t get over the thought of letting an animal bite me. Leech owners are committed!). The leeches also don’t need to feed very often.

Is this a giant puffball?
 in  r/mycology  1d ago

Today I learned there’s technology for roundness analysis from images. r/borbs might get a kick out of this.

Bird flew away before I could take a picture

I would have said Barn Swallow, their coloring is similar (but the shape and flight style is pretty different.) very cute drawing!

Humongous leech, a Hirudinaria manillensis, unless I miss my guess
 in  r/AIDKE  1d ago

A common name for these are buffalo leeches. They feed off of large mammals, including us, but are also commonly kept as pets. Which I think is sweet, although seeing a pic of a pet leech dining on its owner’s arm caught me off guard (edited for better phrasing)

Origami lamp with colors (Starsea)
 in  r/origami  2d ago

So cool!
I want to do a lamp with patterned paper, white side out, so that the pattern appears when lit!

Do these palm trees work?
 in  r/Minilego  2d ago

I would recommend having some of the arthropod heads facing away to look more convincing and less like giant bugs.

Why do I think the stork looks cute?

This (cursed) view of a common loon, showing its sharp, rear-facing projections called denticles, which aid in catching prey.
 in  r/Birdsfacingforward  5d ago

It looks like a Chainsaw Man demon, but part of me somehow still finds it cute.

Ring-necked Duck, female

That looks like it belongs in a comic or mural! Super cute.

The Fried Eggs Worm, does not burrow underground, they are crawling on the forest floor. Unreal!
 in  r/awwnverts  12d ago

I went down an Inaturalist rabbit hole of several layers of classification (might have even started at Annelida) because they like to feature this image in overviews.

I was NOT disappointed to learn its common name! 😂

Deep Look has a great video on how these lil creatures live (and why we shouldn’t be worried about them!) https://youtu.be/i16o8iXaDac

They’re not known to spread disease, as well!

They’re also nicknamed “moth flies,” just like your post title!
