I’m failing to see whatever it is you see, though I clicked through to the full size picture before looking at the thumbnail, so my view of the thumbnail was influenced by having seen the full size picture

I don’t have thumbnails set on my phone so I only ever saw the full image. That said, I looked at it without my glasses with my arm outstretched and I’m going to guess they saw either buttcrack or titcleft

Threadbare Merkin would be an excellent band name!

I wonder why this one’s antennae are curled. Most pictures show them straight.

He seemed very jolly. He was preening his antennae, folding them over his hands and wiping them off. Very fun to watch
