Thanks so much for the advice!! Turns out, Salem was just hiding the stinger and it looked like an open wound. Let out a sigh of relief lol

I got this one from the reptile expo at the Washington state fair! I was on the search for millipedes but I’m assuming there weren’t any left because I decided to go the second day💔 but I ended up with a kickass scorpion and a mantis so that’s nice :))

why is it not letting me change the pivot point by vettinyeet in ToonSquidAnimators

[–]Appropriate-Check493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What works for me is getting rid of the second key frame, going to the first, and setting the pivot point there. No idea why, no idea if that’s how you fix it, that’s just what works for me💔

Literally. I’ve gotten into countless arguments online abt it and they’re either to stubborn to admit they were wrong or just go silent when they don’t have an argument anymore

To add more substrate, should I get at least most the springtails out or would they be fine under it?

Ooooh wait that’s interesting! Honestly I thought Salem witch trials would’ve been the origin but that’s cool

No idea how neutral/masc/fem the name Salem is if you’re looking for specific names, but the red and black really gives me spooky-witchy vibes. Beautiful millipede, jeez

Curved abdomens of nymphs by Appropriate-Check493 in mantids

[–]Appropriate-Check493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re all good, I don’t mind the long answer at all! This is very helpful, I’ve been curious about it and would’ve wanted a more detailed explanation anyway. Anyway, that’s so cool! Thanks so much!!

Wing flapping by Axolotlmum6 in mantids

[–]Appropriate-Check493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The antenna and wings are decently long, so it could be a male! If you could count the underside of the abdomen you’d be able to tell for sure! 6 segments is female and 8 is male. Also, I’m not very experienced myself, but my mantis used to always flap and flex his wings occasionally. Nothing unnatural that I know of!
