Pretty exciting assortment came in the mail today! #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera

Today I acquired a family of Dicrania vugada! What an odd #occlupanid! Certainly an outstanding specimen in my collection. #breadclip #ephemera

A gorgeous green Admordorsum floridensis that I received today. I love the color morphs that this species comes in. #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera

Hyalocardis novicyanus. One of a few new species popping up recently with similar looks (check my previous posts!). Stoked to find one! Positioned here so you can better see the lateral palps. #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera

It must be a recently evolved species to be suddenly popping up like this

I HAD to share this with you all as soon as I saw it. A currently undescribed species of Toxodentidae. Notice the shape and location of the lateral palps. As for its provenance, it was found grazing on a Ballpark hotdogs bun bag from Safeway in Central California. #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera

Some of my most exciting panids are utiliformes. Welcome to the hobby!

Now I have to find where in my binder I took all these out from... Yeesh

Happy #pride from your favorite #queer occlupanolgy-poster! #Occlupanids come in all shapes and colors, and that's what makes them worth seeking out and cherishing. I hope that you find yourself in communities as diverse and vibrant as your dream panid collection #breadclip #ephemera #pridewasariot

Admordorsum floridensis in the deepest blue I currently have in my collection - a real treat! Another generous gift from one of many wonderful researcher on the FORC Discord. The Trader Joe's sticker adds a certain provenance that I find delightful. #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera

Profoundly grateful for this donation from a generous colleague from the Foundation for Occlupanology Research and Communication discord. #Odontotrochidae Ampleximordax ptyctophyllus. Every #occlupanid collector's dream, found only in Japan. #breadclip #ephemera

I think I may have just sourced a lime green Palpatophora glyphodorsalis, which is my current chase panid. Very exciting. If you collect #occlupanids what are you currently seeking?

Alisarcina brysi. One of my favorites because I only have morphs in interesting colors. #occlupanid #breadclip #ephemera
