Hog-peanut leaf-sewer sounds like a Shakespearean insult

[@dickygushy]

The "sewer" is pronounced sow-er (because it sews leaves shut) but I didn't realize until I watched this video that it's the exact same spelling as a septic system

[@lock_ray]

Im so glad i dont have a skeleton so i cant be skeletonised, said the grape fruit. Hello, said the grapefruit skeletoniser

[@Hannibal-Barca]

Serves them well

[@hyliaphora-cecropia]

“Thank goodness I’m not a grape, so that bug can’t skeletonize me,” a nearby apple tree said “Hello,” said the closely-related Apple Leaf Skeletonizer

[@hellgazer8370]

"Oh, you inferior trees. My great spiky exterior prevents my leaves from being skeletonized" a snobbish palm tree quipped. "Greetings," said the possibly affiliated Palm Leaf Skeletonizer.

[@northropi2027]

I hate to Acshually but we have them here and they're interesting if destructive. Grape *leaf* Skeletonizers have these tiny blue-lined caterpillars that eat all the green parts of the leaves of crop plants, notably grapes, leaving just the "skeleton" of veins standing there. They work fkn quick too.

[@snakewithapen5489]

​​@@northropi2027oh yeah, i had an infestation of them on my grape plants last year. It was horrible, they ate every single leaf! 😬 Good thing it was september, i was about to cut them back for the winter anyway...

[@DragonaxFilms]

"The Penitent, the Herald, and the Bride" sound like a trio of Dark Souls bosses.

[@toaster9922]

This is one of the pluses of getting into entomology, giving your own little CREACHER a funny name (i said entymology first oops)

[@dickygushy]

*Entomology If it was etymology, surely someone would've realized that "sewer" has two pronunciations

[@arlenepace3104]

I can't tell if this is wrong or right

[@hyliaphora-cecropia]

I feel like this is one of the few situations where both entomology (study of bugs) and etymology (study of language evolution) are relevant, so both of you are right in my opinion

[@mrpickles-hb6zx]

No op is definitely wrong and your opinion is invalid asf, this is about bugs
