can animals photosynthesise? musican moglii told me about the leaf slug. like the sea slug it gets energy by doing photosynthesia! i thought only plants can convert water, minerals and sunlight into glucose and oxygen.. to find out that also the spotted salamander and the pea aphid have symbiotic relationship with algae to do kleptoplasty (that is how scientist call the process of stealing the photosynthetic organelles (chloroplasts) from the algae) made me jealous. if i could choose a superpower this kleptoplasty would come straight after being invisible.

Two enamel pin designs. The one on the left is a leaf sheep sea slug designed to look like a green, gold, and copper printed circuit board (PCB). The one on the right is a tabby cat face with geometric circuit board elements. Text on the bottom reads: "Design by CZGoldEdition x Design by Kage Davies".
