typopandas asked: Chicken nugget's wings look disproportioned and I don't think he'll be able to survive in the wild due to his handicap. Maybe keep him?
Yeahh I’m pretty sure that his left wing is deformed. It hasn’t straightened out and his Chrysalis was a little whack
I’m worried. He flies like a dork- a little frantic and uneven, but he can still fly. I don’t have any means of keeping him though so I’m not sure what to do
Any suggestions for a handicapped yet handsome butterfly?
hi, i think chicken nugget might be a chimera! a chimera is an organism with cells from two different zygotes, usually a result of a merging of sibling zygotes during gestation. anyway this can result in organisms with both male and female cells, and in animals with sexual dimorphism like many butterflies, having a “split” like chicken nugget is common!
here’s an example of a butterfly chimera with a split:
and here is the sexual dimorphism of spicebush swallowtails, with the male on the left and the female on the right:
male spicebush swallowtails are also smaller than the female, which would account for the size difference of chicken nuggets…chicken wings
as far as flight ability and care goes, i have no clue, but congrats on your beautiful new child!!
CHICKEN WING IS BREAKING THE BINARY oh my god oh my god thank you for this info my bro is a fucking hella rad chimera non fuckig binary,, oh my god We’re nb bros I can’t believe this
He’s not a boy or a girl folks He’s chicken nugget
Like, yeah! What if Cammy’s give thrives because there’s so much love for each other in the town? It’s a supportive community that’s an outcast society. If word gets to them about a Changeling being accepted in the Crystal Empire. Or, heck, if Cammy WENT THERE trying to find the Changeling only to find him being accepted. Then yeah. Shit there wouldn’t be a need for her hive or town anymore. They could go out and live on their own in the Crystal empire or in Equestria. Yeah this might be the end of Lady of the Changelings but her babies are safe and out on their own and not in hiding and afraid anymore.
I love it.
also, it was confirmed that changelings can basically have their own OCs
Coconuts have only been in the Caribbean for 500 years. They just….floated on over from Asia and took root. That’s…hilarious.
Wait really? I always thought they were if not native at least brought over on purpose
Right??? I’m watching this nature doc and when the narrator said that I nearly spit my drink giggling. They’re remarkably buoyant and just bob their way to a new shore. So carefree. Truly a fruit destined to be in the Caribbean.
are you suggesting coconuts migrate
All this time I thought it was due to African swallows and bits of creeper
