I kind of think of people who are interested in vertebrates as being a little basic. Oh you like wolves? Bunnies? ... meh get on my level. Check out the arthropods. (I'm trying to be better about this. less of an ant hispster)
I have discovered that sponge people think of *me* as basic in the same way when I talk about ants.
"what does it need to have legs and a head or you can't relate to it? girl... get on my level."

@futurebird this reminded me that I bookmarked something that I suspect will be extremely relevant to your interests (if you don’t already have one / several)…
Full Size Ant Insect Soft Stuff Plush Toy

I’m greatly amused by their use of “full size” – I look forward to them releasing a “large” version… 😲
@itgrrl @futurebird Wow, they did not hold back on this at all. 😆 It even has those little hairs and everything.
If this wasn't made for myrmepropagandist nothing was.
@itgrrl @futurebird They clearly take this very very seriously.
Looking through the catalog I see a bunch I'd be afraid even to pick up, even knowing they're plushies. 😆
