Natural habitats for the uninitiated! Absolutely wonderful little web series. I first discovered them through Lemmy and I have binged the entire catalogue several times. Here are some faves:

These used to be all over my grandparents’ backyard when my mom was a kid; about a week ago, I saw the first I’ve seen in a few years. Ant pest control in this neighborhood has gotten significantly more effective over the past 10 years or so that fact about them eating ants is incredibly revealing to me.
I laughed. Good job! 👍
