This species of bird uses trees for winter storage, which are called granary trees and may have up to 50,000 holes, each filled with an acorn. The acorn woodpecker’s main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.

What have gotten into me??

Why do I find this to be rather unsettling?
Could be trypophobia
Probably not. It’s not the holes that unsettle me, it’s more the acorns looking like some nasty sort of maggots I think
That’s the general thinking behind what trypophobia really is. Not so much a phobia as a triggering of our innate disgust reaction to things that look similar to disease
I can’t use these. I might need them later!
Squirrels must love these.
This is why we need spoiler tags. Boobs I can scroll by, this causes me to pause to recover.
Damn all these blackheads on my nose are nuts
