 Spiny Leaf Bug megapost + Prof question Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN
It was a BUG terrarium! Awwyea! As soon as the Professor gave the go signal, the leonine lad made a jump for the tanks, looking for a tarantula of his own.....
... But spiders seem to be a popular selection, specially among the older students. Hadley got what looks to be the last of them, it seems to him, so he decided to look for something else---
--- and that something else caught his eye, staring at him from behind the glass. At first he thought it looked like a clump of walnuts.....then its tail started to curve up. "Oh a scorpion!!" he breathed against the glass, blue green eyes staring back in excitement. But it wasn’t a scorpion, he realizes a few moments later. Depending on the angle, sometimes it looked like a dried up twisted leaf, sometimes a scorpion, sometimes a clump of nuts....
..... Ok super versatile bug. That’s for him yup!
"Ey c'mere buddy..." he crooned as he coaxed the Spiny Leaf Bug onto his hand. Once he got it, he walked back onto his seat and let the bug reorient itself for life on a school desk. "Duuuuude you so look like a scorpion, lookitchu!" he beamed as he observed the bug and the bug observed him and everything else "Imma name you Scorpion King!" Is it male? The bug was looking at him. "....Scorpion Queen?" It moved its body indicating it agreed, and showed off the curvature of its tail. Apparently something about it says this is what a female tail looks like.
Ok so the Professor says to handle it carefully because delicate natures. But Tenacius wasn’t sure what that meant exactly so up goes the hand "Professor, when you said they've got 'delicate natures', do you mean they get scared easily? Or do you mean they get angry easily?" |
