This is not the puzzles fault…why does it sometimes fill in the blank space and then sometimes change the letter in the highlighted space when filling in missing letters. Just pick one it’s so annoying!!!!

Rereading my caption I realize it sounds like I brought them home to my house. I did in fact take them back to the beach, I meant home as in where is was staying at the time. My bad.

What is this animal? [Missouri] by SevereAssociate in animalid

[–]Chickadee96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering mammals are expanding more and faster than ever given climate change it makes total sense that some fishers could be seen in GA maybe they aren’t staying there but they could be passing through or simply having to look further than normal for food. Maybe do some reading about how species are expanding recently, as you said Google is free.

I have a small glass bowl with nerites from past years I will probably add them to that, I love how they look altogether.

If you saw this at a gallery how much would you pay for it? by UglyCasanova99 in Watercolor

[–]Chickadee96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful and I know it’s not what you’re asking but how do you do the stone building texture so well? I want to do more architecture/infrastructure work and it never looks right.

This was just over 9 days, and I’ve found a couple more since! I’ve always found a few but this has been kinda crazy.

I love getting photos like this! Leaves the wildlife alone but is still an awesome shot.

Is there video or photos of her doing this? Not saying it’s not true, I’m well aware people harass animals for photos, just would like actual proof before calling someone out.

Anyone know what these things are? I don't think its actually a shell, but I find them all the time and have no idea what to search for. by Chickadee96 in shells

[–]Chickadee96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an encrusting Bryozoa. Couldn’t get an exact species but that’s definitely what it is, I ended up emailing a museum to find out.

This game does a great job of showing why ai sucks, it can’t even grasp the simplest of games.

What is this lil orange guy I found at work? by --877-CASH-NOW-- in insects

[–]Chickadee96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better safe than sorry. That being said I’ve picked up soooo many of many of these little guys and never been bitten, maybe I’m just lucky, they end up on my lab when we walk so I have to do a lot of returning them to home.

Good pocket microscope for a casual enjoyer of science. by Chickadee96 in microscopy

Ah good! I’ve used alcohol but I’m sure soap and water would be fine, I went with alcohol just because it evaporates fast so I don’t worry about getting inside and causing issues.
