I glanced the article for the higher resolution image and thought: "wait, is that a stink bug? Is that toddler's entire family about to regret existence?"
Thanks, I hate it.
That's vile
How else do you science as a toddler?
if putting it in your mouth is off the table, noses and ears are still available.
I believe it goes in this order: look > grab > shake > taste > throw
From memory these smell/taste a bit like millipedes/moth balls.
Moths have balls?
They're actually more cotillions.
You never played with them as a kid? The cum stick to your fingers.
You know what millipedes taste like?
You never played with them as a kid? The scent stick to your fingers.
You've smelled moth balls?
You never played with them as a kid? The scent stick to your fingers.
I'm just curious how you can get your nose between their little legs
Mmmmmm...naphthalene
