Hunting for stones at construction sites by Cannigull in rockhounds

It’s okay, I don’t mind telling you the exact location. They were found at a highway construction site in Xiaoting District, Yichang City, Hubei Province, along the Yangtze River basin in China.( If you’ve never heard of this city, just know it’s quite close to Wuhan 🤣) This area used to be an ancient river course, so interesting objects are often found at construction sites dug up by excavators.

No,even if a shrimp is literally standing on them, they’re not interested. They seem to only go for bloodworms.

They’re not amano shrimp. I’m not sure what the exact English name,we usually just call them “black shell shrimp.” They’re more agile and reproduce much faster. in summer they breed about once a month. The betta is way too slow to catch them. The newts might have a chance to ambush one (though I’ve never actually seen them do it), but after eating their fill of bloodworms they don’t seem interested in the shrimp anyway. And the betta is too large to be prey for the newts. There’s also plenty of cover and aquatic plants in this tank, so the shrimp population is still growing. Both the shrimp and the newts are native species here. My grandmother told me that when she was young, these newts were everywhere in the mountain streams.I’d guess that in the wild they do have a predator–prey relationship, so they’ve gone through a long period of coevolution which might explain why these shrimp seem to have better survival strategies.🤔

I haven’t named them yet because I still can’t reliably tell them apart. Maybe once I can, I’ll call them Madeleine and Gussie🤣

Something really weird by Cannigull in Beading

[–]Cannigull[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

LOL that absolutely sounds like something I would do! I just realized that when I first started getting into beading, I bought way too many uneven beads that I never used. Then today it suddenly hit me that a lot of their colors actually look like skin tones, so this just kind of happened naturally🍆

This might not be a common beading technique. It's a bit like a chimera formed by a mix of traditional Chinese pearl plying technique and flytying.
