🌸 Vårgubben@yora So when you’re comming up with these names, and doing it properly, you’re basically doing #entymology backwards.
There’s the history, heraldy, geography, politics, religion, association, homonyms, linguistics, and on top of all this probably a whole host of in world misunderstandings that all led up to an ”Ottoman” refering to both an empire and a piece of furniture.
IIRC Tolkien did the other way around. Dude just wanted to dabble in #conlang so he had to come up with a world for it.
M.S. Bellows, Jr.Hey, #entymology friends: is this a termite, or ??? Found it in our house and am wondering whether we need to panic.

My son took this picture on the window before heading to school today.
iNaturalist tells me it is an Eastern Black Carpenter Ant (location is in Boston).
Can you tell if it is a drone? I imagined it was small for a queen, but am not an expert at all.

Isaac MottistoneBuff-tailed bumblebee, hind legs loaded with pollen, obtaining nectar from the flowers of salvia ‘Javier’. The bee lacks the mouth parts to obtain nectar via the flower’s opening and so it resorts to ‘burglary’, making a hole in the base of the flower near the sepals from which to extract it. #Plants #Flowers #Bumblebees #Insects #Entymology #bloomscrolling
Saw this beauty on our fading choisya. A lime hawk moth that looks as though it may have recently emerged from its chrysalis. #moths #hawkmoths #inseects #entymology
SecondUniverse (she/her/they)Asking the #fediBrain here, what are these Greek ants doing? They seem to be piling spikey seeds around their front door. They don't seem to be taking the seeds underground. Fortification? Context: southern Peloponnese olive grove. #ants #zoology #ecology #entymology
Mx. Luna Corbden 🐸I guess we have cicadas here. They're not very big as cicadas go. I tried to get a pic earlier but my phone wasn't on me. Seen several shells and several living bugs today.
