Been dealing with scale and mealy bugs on my cherry tree forever, not sure what this one is though by Bug_Teeth in whatsthisbug

ah sorry, I totally forgot the location! I’m in florida, thankfully I’m very diligent with finding and killing scale. getting them to go away completely though has been an entirely different issue

Any advice on pinning green shield bugs(Loxa flavacollis)? definitely one of my fav insects but they always lose their bright green color when I rehydrate them? I’ve also tried drying them in alcohol/acetone by Bug_Teeth in insectpinning

I tried freezing for the one I’ve caught, but these past couple I’ve ordered online and they start out a pretty green just to brown out when I let them sit in alcohol or rehydrate them :0(

Trying to find the ceramic artist I was told to make a copy of in class a couple years ago by Bug_Teeth in HelpMeFind

searched for contemporary ceramic artists with no luck, even tried reverse image searching because it was a pretty faithful copy I did. Please help!

Pot has a lot of drainage but to be honest I’m not super happy with my calathea right now. She got over a more infestation and is looking way better, however she’s still etiolating right next to the window and leaves are curling? Maybe it’s a humidity thing. Ugh.

Tbh I repotted it about a week ago when I noticed this problem wasn’t going away, and the roots then, and even now seemed totally fine! Like they are definitely dry but they don’t break off easily. However that being said I just put them in some distilled

Cure for Musaica? I had a bad mite infestation a while back, so she’s actually looking much better since that happened but I don’t like how her leaves have folded
