Acorn woodpeckers (๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ท๐ฐ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด) are the ultimate hoarders of the bird world
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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 woodpeckerโs main food source is insects, but acorns serve as key nutritional backup, allowing the birds to make it through the winter.
Trypophobia trigger alert

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
