We interrupt your regular scrolling for this important video of Charidotella sexpunctata the ruby gold tortoise beetle.
Look at how this little creature places it's little feets* with such care. I wonder if, like ants, they have little sticky pads that must be activated and deactivated for traction?
The video is by Andreas Kay who does excellent macrophotography.
*I know "feet" is plural for foot, but if the foot is very cute the proper term is "feets" or "footies"

@futurebird "sexpunctada"?
At one point in college, we were handing out "sex points" for clever witticisms. It was never made clear how they should be redeemed. At one point someone lamented, "I have no sex points! I am sexually pointless!"
