Larophile Trucker Hat for Gull Fans & Laridae Lovers
Add "phile" to the end of a word or word stem to indicate love. A Larophile is someone who loves birds in the Laridae family -- gulls and allies.
The word larophile comes from larus, the Latin root for gull, combined with -phile, meaning “lover of.” Quite simply, a larophile is someone who loves gulls. While gulls often get an unfair reputation as noisy beach scavengers, true larophiles know that these birds are intelligent, adaptable, and surprisingly diverse, ranging from the petite Little Gull to the impressive Great Black-backed Gull. Birders who call themselves larophiles often enjoy the challenge of identifying gull species, which can be tricky due to their variable plumages and seasonal changes. For them, every gull is worth a closer look.
This hat was made for anyone who loves to study and observe gulls. Gull foot yellow text reads "LAROPHILE" while an adult gull soars by. Can you ID this bird? Help shade your eyes from blinding sun glare with this gull lover hat.
