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 woodpeckerโ€™s main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.

Probably not. Itโ€™s not the holes that unsettle me, itโ€™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

Thank you for teaching me a new word.

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.
