What the hell happened to the chupacabra?
The chupacabra is a shapeshifter, changing its appearance according to the time and place it’s seen, and according to the beliefs of those who see it.

Hi folks. Please don’t be jerks to birds, bees, butterflies, etc, by putting out this terrible “spider webbing” this month. It kills animals. It’s a stupid decoration. Please don’t. 🌱🦜 (See also: Christmas garland.)
Picture of stupid fake spiderweb draped on bushes, and words:

 Hey neighbors, please don't use this stuff to decorate! Fake spiderweb decorations kill birds. It's strong enough to snare an owl and takes a terrible toll ever October on small birds, including hummingbirds. It's also deadly to monarch butterflies and even bees.
