Tea leaves collected from Boston harbor the morning after the Boston Tea Party. 

Label reads:

“Tea that was gathered up on the Shore of Dorchester Neck on the morning after the destruction of the three Cargos at Boston December 17, 1773.”

I definitely don’t remember this from lecture but I cant stop laughing

the prevalence of discarded beer bottles has actually impacted this species pretty badly because they’re so much bigger and more visible than a real female. They are more attracted to the beer bottles.

it happens with humans, too

I absolutely love that this appears to be a universal sexual phenomenon
