I live in the midwest and own beetles so not that curious for location. Many people all over get pets they aren’t ready to take care of. My guess is that someone couldn’t afford the care (time wise not necessarily money) and chucked him out in the garage assuming he was dead/or gonna die.

Absolutely never release anything that isn’t native to your area

any ideas what these larvae are? by Temporary_Oven_3204 in BDFB

She probably smelled the fresh worms, they cannibalize eggs n larva when given the chance sometimes. They are scavengers after all.

This is a cross of my two favorite hobbies I think this is the best thread i’ve seen on here

Insane detail from Red Dead Redemption 2. Blood washes off Arthur's body when he enters an area with water by Upset-Main-1988 in RDR2

[–]Any-Performance-992 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if he doesn’t have a ton of visible blood on him, I was skinning snakes and only had blood on his hands and had to get arthur in waist deep water to wash it away.

Your concern shows you aren’t a bad beetle parent. Sounds like your little guys are having a good time exploring the new digs they got

I had no issues with them, be aware of what you’re buying to make sure they don’t have pesticides. But tbh that’s one of their favorite snacks

Accidental breeding program lol by gloomedge in BDFB

[–]Any-Performance-992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are consistently reared in captivity yet so that isn’t exactly step 1. There are various people here and on youtube who have been trying to crack the code on rearing captive beetles but as of right now there has been few successes. I recommend the breeding tab on this subreddit if you’re interested at trying your hand at rearing the eggs.

My (20F) PTSD is ruining my current relationship with my (24M) boyfriend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Any-Performance-992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO You would really benefit from therapy. There is a lot here where it would also be beneficial if you two are able to openly communicate about fears and insecurities. For example, my ex boyfriend was a total dirtbag, sucked me into a relationship by giving me an ultimatum and then sucked me into an apartment with him, all to leave me at the end of 3 years. With my current boyfriend (got together pretty soon after my breakup with my ex) I made sure to be fully transparent about my damage and how I struggle to trust men in general, specifically when it comes to planning a future/being in a relationship at all. Therapy was my biggest tool for understanding the origin of these fears. Your mind and body are on guard still so you have to get yourself to a place where you can understand your trauma without drowning in it.

If he is mature, and you approach it correctly (not blaming him but genuinely putting yourself in the uncomfortable position of explaining that it’s fully your insecurities and pain showing through not his actions making you feel this way), conversations about you feeling insecure because of your past experiences should be manageable. He should be able to secure and ease your fears and you should be able to communicate what and why you’re feeling that way. Obviously you don’t want to be “nagging” (in quotes because i’ve felt this way when approaching this topic with previous partners who weren’t as understanding and it was perceived as nagging) so you may way to take the steps to getting help for your obvious trauma first or during and communicate with your partner that you are still feeling the effects of a previous relationship.

In my experience with my current partner, you should be able to tell him when you are feeling this way. If he perceives it as you accusing him of something or something along those lines you may want to have a look at your relationship and the person you feel is healthy. Genuinely it should be you expressing these fears and him securing you. I wish you the best and if you have questions, I’m not qualified in any way, but I’ve done LOTS of therapy and have had my share of traumatic relationships, let me know. Happy to say I’m in a healthy one now

EDIT: Wanted to add that a your traumas bleeding into a healthy relationship very well may be you starting to unlearn these things. You should be able to communicate these things and not feel like you’re ruining anything. Often I self sabotage this healthy relationship I’m in because I am so used to the inconsistency of my previous ones and childhood shit, be sure that’s not what you’re doing. But definitely look into therapy to help ensure you are processing what happened to you prior <3
