The Unstartled Steppes of Dream
Inquiries, Requests, and a Place to Spill Your Guts
Submissions
I am Ashley.
This is my personal blog. If you want just marine biology, go here.
I love the world; I really don't like people.
I balance all this animosity towards the human race with being an almost always kind and gentle being to all creatures.
I'm highly introverted and nature is my primary escape from humanity.
Creepy-crawly-slimy things are my favorites. Dinosaurs are fantastic.
Future marine biologist; presently an amateur entomologist, ichthyologist, artist, biologist, and writer.
Literature, video game, and music connoisseur.
I'm so full of passion for the world that it hurts.
I think a lot, I laugh a lot, I love a lot.
Almost none of the photos are mine and only some of the drawings are mine.
Listen in.

Sometimes something really cute can be really destructive. See what porcupines can do to wooden infrastructure if you don’t believe me. However, in this instance, I’m referring to the emerald ash borer beetle (Agrilus planipennis). The larvae of this beetle carve out tunnels in ash trees (as shown above) and the species ultimately ends up killing the entire tree. Since its introduction to the upper Midwest in 2002, the emerald ash borer has killed over 30 million ash trees. Almost all species of ash are susceptible to the emerald ash borer and once these beetles start their damage, there’s hardly any controlling it.

The Emerald Ash Borers can be spread through selling infected firewood. Introduced species don’t fuck up the environment...
