Papyrus Adhesuvis

Papyrus Adhesuvis, or the common fruit sticker is one of the most well adapted creatures to our modern world. Fruit stickers are a migratory species which attach themselves to various hosts, generally fruit hence the name. Once attached to the fruit the stickers are transported all around the world with little effort on their part. Having nearly drained the fruit of all usable nutrients the sticker attaches itself to the next available source of food (including humans). Harmless though they are many people remove these beautiful and simple creatures. Having finally massed enough energy and nutrients the stickers find their way back to the fruit groves of their birth. Many people are not aware that this beautiful creature is in trouble. Despite the fact that they carry no diseases and are harmless on all levels (the nutrients they take from the fruit are useless to humans), many people toss them in the garbage where they will be shipped to the dump to die. Please, next time you eat fruit release them into the wild where they not only belong but have a fighting chance.
