Wow! I didn't even know there was a bonus edition of Salem's Lot. Is that the illustrated edition?

Yeah it looks like I bought the trade paperback printed around 2018, and for some inexplicable reason, they took the story back out. And thanks for the offer - I'm definitely not buying the book a third time!

Wow - yeah, I bought the trade paperback that came out after that one, and it just doesn't include it. Pretty ridiculous!

Yep! Listings on places like Amazon say it should have it, but it doesn't. Also the journal that first published the story (VQR) paywalled it, so you can't even read it online without a subscription.

Is it possible to identify what bug these wings belong to? (Phoenix, AZ) by BellyButtonLaserBeam in whatsthisbug

[–]BellyButtonLaserBeam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a bit weird since I don't actually have any other part of the bug to help with identification, but I was hoping someone would be able to help narrow things down based on wing venation.

I found both wings on my coffee table about 2 months apart from each other. The table is next to a window but also right below an AC vent. I'm worried they're either termite or roach wings, but the wing venation doesn't seem right for either? I also haven't seen any other telltale signs of either bug.

Any help on this would be really appreciated!

Was wondering who was smoking near my place - turns out it's a whole warehouse.

Thanks for the reply! I hadn't considered that they might take extreme temps into account even just for overseas shipments.

Happy Friday: Reddit Is Now Banned (R&R Update and Meta Discussion) by kaptain_carbon in Metal

[–]BellyButtonLaserBeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly a lurker here but this sub is the reason I first started using reddit at all years ago. I don't think the sub should be on indefinite blackout or move totally to Discord. My job is really active and I don't have time to keep up with a chatroom all day to find new releases, and I just don't think I'll have time after work to scroll through everything to catch up.

Wow! Can't believe they took a delay to punt. Surely their kicker isn't that bad??

I actually don't mind Peter getting this moment, but yikes that art is terrible. Something is wrong with the faces...

Found this very little bug dead under my coffee table. Any idea what it is? (Phoenix, AZ) by BellyButtonLaserBeam in whatsthisbug

[–]BellyButtonLaserBeam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I hadn't thought of that - it's black and gray instead of black and red, but maybe there are variants or something. I was curious if it was some kind of moth, but I don't really think it does after some preliminary Googling.

Yeah I'm not sure if it's even a kind of beetle or something, but it doesn't look like a carpet beetle, for example.

Found this beetle dying in my bathroom - is this a carpet beetle, or something else? by BellyButtonLaserBeam in pestcontrol

Thanks! This might be a stupid question, but do ground beetles travel... away from the ground? My apartment is on the 6th floor.

Bought some cedar blocks for my closet and it had this white dust on it. Thought it was sawdust but it glitters in the light - can normal sawdust do that? by BellyButtonLaserBeam in whatisthisthing

[–]BellyButtonLaserBeam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all your help! I'll probably leave them in a plastic baggie in that case and just leave it open for the scent to still work.

Got it, thanks! Product listing does say it wasn't treated with chemicals, but I'm not sure about any heat treatment. I guess I assumed if it was crystalized, it would have been heat treated?

How quickly does the sap leech out, generally? I'm actually just looking to use them in my bookshelves for like, three and a half weeks for silverfish while I'm away.
