=( What is an Eridan )
=( Alright. Here's your next scheduled "Atlans Appearance." Although it seems my selfies have proven to be quite popular, I do hope that something more "professional" is still pleasing enough to my audience. https://files.catbox.moe/ojls20.jpg )
wHAT A SWEET, aND WISE LOOKING, lUSUS!
(• - •) Your lusus is a little intimidating looking but somehow... cute? I like your bug facts. Thank you for sharing them with us. ⚘
=( Thank you. I will pass your... warm? Regards forward to Snuffles. I will have another bug fact prepared for your hungry mind shortly. )
=( Good heavens. We've finally got the photo. In an unexpected turn of events, the JCPennys photo block was not appropriately sized for lusii as large as mine. We had to "photoshop" his presence into it. I will momentarily upload the result as requested once it's been prepared and sent to me. Hold tight. )
=( Bribing my lusus to come get a professional photo taken with me has proven to be a more difficult endeavor than originally estimated. I've finally managed to corral him to the nearest town with a suitable business to have it taken in. Stay tuned, followers. )
((OOC: wait - is chittr gold real? lol. Atlans needs a golden beetle))
((u can jus ask a mod for it and they'll giv u one for free ))
=( Good evening, Chittr. My Lusus has decided to make an appearance tonight - a rather rare occurrence. I will be taking advantage of the opportunity and wrangling him to get a "professional" photograph taken today. Do keep your anticipation high, my dearest readers. )
=( Chittr, I believe you are long overdue for one of my #bugs facts. I sincerely apologize for my lack of posting, and hope to salve the emotional wound of my absence with the following morsel: we all know that the humble butterfly is one of the few creatures who prefer to keep their activity to the harsh Alternian daylight, but did you know that it is this exact overbearing sun that "powers" their ability to navigate? The intense UV light activates a protein called cryptochrome 1, which is an essential biological ingredient for their internal magnetic compass. Interesting, is it not? This has been butterfly facts with Atlans. )

huh. wEIrdly InspirationAl OnE tOnIght. lOokIng IntO this.
wow that is so cool! dropping a follow so i can see more facts like this :)
=( Good morning, Chittr. After a long and busy night I've returned to you. Did you miss me, my fellow #bugs fans? )
/╲/ ( WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!! OF DYNASTIDS!!!!!!!!!! ) /╱\
The best user of this platform is online. Everybody rejoyce.
=( Why, Kajika, I'm so glad you asked. The Dynastinae family - or to the layman, the Rhinoceros Beetle, are my favorite species of beetle. Perhaps my favorite species of insect all together. If you'll bare with me enough to hear an Atlans fact, the first bug I ever had the pleasure of caring for belonged to this species; back when I was but a wriggler myself. My lusus coincidentally happens to share certain visual similarities to the class as well. )

((OOC FROM SHAMMY: AKA ATLANS CREATOR. I've just gotten something very exciting in the mail. I'll be at NYC in a few weeks for NYCstuck. Since you all are such big Atlans fans: anybody who's there, I will be bringing some Atlans stickers to pass around! Hope to see you there. :) https://files.catbox.moe/l8oi69.jpg ))
i wont be there but those look great!
These look so freaking good I can't believe the Atling swarm is real!!!!

((SO SAD I CANT COME BECAUSE THESE ARE SO CUTEE! LITTLE ATLANS.. AWE
=( Good evening Chittr. Checking in with my loyal followers, how are these first beams of moonlight treating you tonight? )
THEORIZED to be very nice out and it is turning out to be TRUE! I would say it is treating me very well!
OMG lik£, im doing lik£, SO good!!<3 It's lik£, so totally nic£ out right now so im lik£, £xcit£d!! :P Lik£, what about you?! Got to b£ lik£, good w£ath£r for som£ lik£, bug stuff?
=( I wanted to provide you all with another one of my well received "Atlans Appearances", however, the requested "professional photograph" that was asked of me will not be ready tonight on account of my appointment at the local JC Pennys not being until tomorrow. Instead I offer you this; a wriggler photo of my lusii's species that I've just come across. He hasn't been present for weeks now, but once he returns I promise to take an image of his adult appearance for you all to see. Isn't this cute? https://files.catbox.moe/azsvfv.jpg )
He - looks - adorable - !!! - I - like - his - face - and - his - legs - He - looks - wonderful >
is it rude if i say that your lusus looks delicious in this picture? context: we're called frogs for a reason
=( Considering how much of the Alternian diet consists of grub matter, I can't fullheartedly disagree with you. )
tHAT IS, sO WONDERFUL, wHAT A PLEASANT, lITTLE CREATURE! aLREADY SO MUCH INTELLIGENCE, bEHIND THOSE EYES, wOW,,,
=( What in the world is happening. Someone is quad-reacting to every single one of my entries to this forum. My notifications are ringing off the hook. )
♠Happened to me too, kinda makes it a bit less special haha♠
=( @archaicCryptid I'm not sure what compels you to come on this platform and tell lies. The people on this forum depend on us for their education on all things #bugs. There are several species of snails that engage in regular cannibalistic tendencies, both on the dead and alive. An example would be the Euglandina rosea, colloquially known as the "cannibal" snail. This species is a fast and voracious predator, hunting and eating other snails and slugs. This has been TRUE insect facts with Atlans. )
Excuse my ignorance but, are snails considered insects? I'm asking from a completely genuine and curious point of view, I'm not trying to be snarky or anything of the sort.
(•́⍜•̀)🎪 THIS ISN'T A TRUE INSACT FACT CUZ SNAILS AREN'T BUGS BIG DAWG, THEY'RE MOLLUSCS OR WHATEVER
I Don't Know What A Snail Is Nobody Has Ever Explained It To Me
=( If we were to get technical, as per what @mercurialGorepriest said, they are mollusks. However; they are frequently collected and raised by other bug enthusiasts such as myself and I tend to stick to the wrigglerish habbit of lumping it together with them. I suppose, this one time, this was a mollusk fact with Atlans. )
I'm experiencing cute aggression right now. You are just too precious, Atlans.
=( I am less informed about mollusks. My integrity wills me to stick to what I know - beautiful, beautiful bugs. )

|<o>| well maybe th<o>se snails are pieces <o>f shit in the snail c<o>mmunity did y<o>u ask them
=( It's been requested that I provide another one of my coveted #bugs facts. Never one to deny the public clues about our planets "creepy" crawlies, I have a pusher-warming point prepared for you. My cerulean fans may be aware of this one already, but even outside of Lusii-distinct species, centipedes are rather attentive wriggler-rearers. When they lay their eggs, they will bury themselves amongst their young and wrap their long bodies around them to serve as a protective barrier from any ne'er-do-wells. If only my own lusus had been so attentive. This has been insect facts with Atlans. )
Insect facts with Altans may be the single most wholesome thing on this platform and it needs to be protected at all costs.
OMG lik£ AW!!! I lik£ lov£ l£arning this stuff, lik£ thank you!<33
=( Hello, Chittr. I apologize for my lack of presence this evening, I was preoccupied the entire night. Have we all been having a pleasant evening? )
It's been significantly bumped into the better now that you're around, hopefully ready to provide bug facts.
=( It touches my heart to know my bountiful bug knowledge has been having a positive effect on the users of this forum. Just for you, my dearest Lalonde, I shall prepare one of my long awaited installments. )
((Oh there's an ooc button now. This website is so much fun! I'm so glad you all like my bug boy <3))
=( It seems like I can't get my installments to my loyal followers quickly enough. While I sit here at my breakfast table, admiring the view of the early night sky filtering through the glass as iridescent moonlight, a particular #bugs fact stands out to me. Did you know that trolls are not the only species of insect that orients itself through the celestial? Some scarab species navigate using the Sun, Moons, and glow of our neighboring galaxies as a compass. I wonder, perhaps, if they also dream of what waits for them beyond our Alternian atmosphere, and if they qoukd prove fruitful for an endless galactic conquest? This has been insect facts with Atlans. )
READ ALL ABOUT IT — [ I learned this fact when I was younger, followed a moth though the night. I was curious where the little veck was headed, and nadsats like me ddidn't have much to do. So, followed 'em 'till it hit a light that wasn't the moon. Fell over from the shock. I blubbed like a little grub. ]
=( Good evening, Chittr. I have a busy night of indexing a new influx of beetle carapaces for an upcoming display I'm planning to hang in my entranceway. Entertain me while I sip this evenings tea; is there anything interesting happening in your lives? )
READ ALL ABOUT IT — [ atlans. bug boy. please release a new bug fact or something i just endured 20 minutes of the worst shit ever. ]
=( You don't even answer my question and immediately come to me, demanding my services? A simple "hello" this early in the evening would do you wonders. Regardless, I will provide to you another installment momentarily. )
READ ALL ABOUT IT — [ Thank you. Whatever. I'll say hi next time and I'll even throw in a bit of smoke blown in your face, sounds good? ]
=( I have received my first bug facts request. A loyal follower of mine, @calibratedCalculation , wanted me to lend my knowledge on cockroaches. A tragically misunderstood and unjustifiably hated sect of species indeed; I hold a great deal of empathy for them as a troll also often disliked for no discernible purpose. Cockroaches actually produce antiamoebic as well as antibacterial molecules on their skin, essentially making them extremely clean and resistant to nearly every disease. Common Alternian cockroaches can only carry bacteria about 8 feet on their body before these microbial molecules destroy the bacteria, just like hand sanitizer. If you get sick from a cockroach running amongst your hives, this is far more likely to be because of it tracking around bacteria already native to your living space. This has been the longest bug fact with Atlans yet. )
OMG lik£, who do£sn't lik£ you? OMG RUD£. You hav£ lik£, such fun bug facts??? As lik£ always, totally lik£, amazing stuff s£lfi£ mast£r. :P <3
Altans, would you mind using a hashtag that I and the rest of your fans could follow? That way our beloved bug facts won't be drowned in the ceaseless cascade of chitts and we'll receive them straight in our feeds.
[ ❁ … aw. glad you posted a fa©t. e♪n♪se loves the l♪ttle sh♪ts. ❁ ]
=( Of course. I will start the #bugs hashtag here for the good of my followers. )
=( The people demand my facts, so magnificent moth facts I shall provide. Did you know that there are more ways to tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly than just what side of the daynight cycle they fall on? The actual best way to tell the difference betwixt the two is by the antennae. Most butterflies have club-shaped antennae with a little ball at the end, whilst moths' are usually feathery, saw-shaped or taper to a fine point.This has been insect facts with Atlans. )
Lik£, thank you Atlans for lik£ bl£ssing us again!!!<3 Lik£ so r£fr£shing to s££ on th£ f££d :P
(•́⍜•̀)🎪 BUT THAT'S A MOTH FACT. ARE WE SURE THAT MOTHS ARE BUGS? I THOUGHT MOTHS WERE MOTHS. :o?
this is fUckIng AwesomE. i lOvE thOsE lIttlE guys.
ʚɞ Thank you for sharing bug facts! It's very nice hearing someone share such lovely facts about amazing creatures :> ʚɞ
Yessssss. Bug facts to cleanse the debauchery. Many thanks, sincerely. I want Insect Facts with Altans to become a daily thing.
=( Insect facts with Atlans shall continue for as long as there are facts about bugs. Which will be forever! )
