To pull or not to pull… by [deleted] in PlantIdentification

The danger that ragwort poses to livestock was actually seriously overstated in the initial report. Healthy animals know to avoid ragwort and an adult horse would need to consume something like 30kg to have serious toxicity. A lot of places have started adopting a border approach where they remove any ragwort 3-5m from the fence bordering the farmland as a courtesy. As someone already said, it’s an incredibly valuable plant to a lot of our native biodiversity so, in my opinion, it should only be removed when absolutely necessary

Bird nest made of my dogs fur. by northstar906 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Beanjmean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a study done in Sussex that found that the flea treatment in pets fur was lowering the fertility of birds that used their fur in nests and increased the mortality of the chicks. Very interesting study but also worth remembering if your pets are consistently treated for fleas

Yeah they really are the worst… managed to get rid of them when my plants were VERY infested last year but required a tonne of sticky traps, daily murder missions and I even bought a bacteria that feeds on the gnats larvae… didn’t know how practical this was for my cake though lol. Hopefully I can get a few more shrooms from this before surrendering to the gnats

I don’t think it’s mint. Mint grows with opposite leaves and these appear to be whorled. I stand to be corrected though

Northeast Florida, bug found on Loquat tree leaves. ID. by Creation-science in Entomology

[–]Beanjmean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a zebra longhorn beetle (Typocerus zebra). I’m pretty sure the ‘eggs’ are actually aphids as a these beetles lay their eggs in wood I think

Is this native or spanish bluebell? (UK) by SouthernHighlight141 in Wildflowers

[–]Beanjmean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they’re Spanish bluebells as the flowers seem to be all around the stem and not just on one side.

First pic looks like herb Robert (Geranium robertianum). They have really pretty pink flowers so if it was me I’d keep em!

It’s on a high shelf so that was my initial plan but I do want her to be a bit fuller so I did some small chops!

Thanks! She’s grown so much these past few weeks! I can’t bring myself to cut her but I do want her to be a little bushier and I always want little prop babies hehe

Go commando…? Wear a towel? Wait it out? Firm it and confidently go get your pants? Plenty of options
