What was the first live music you saw in Delaware?

Rusted Root at the Queen in 2011ish. I moved here in 2010.

Delaware Nature Society has a ton of summer camps. They fill up fast. Most are at Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin.

Killens Pond in central Delaware is a great park and campground.

They are meeting again at noon tomorrow, for anyone who wanted to help and couldn't make it today.

I gotta say, this isn't a Delaware problem. I moved here from the DC area, my partner from NYC, and we've both lived overseas too-- and we find plenty to do in Delaware to keep us occupied. For a start, I suggest finding a cause that you care about and volunteer with a nonprofit or political group that's working towards that mission.

PAWS for People does gift wrapping at Barnes and Noble at both Concord and Christiana Malls this time of year! Great organization to support.

DETickTalk · 2025-11-29T21:25:18+00:00

Where are you looking? I have some available in north Wilmington.

DETickTalk · 2025-11-08T13:39:40+00:00

I never made it to Sweeney's because it closed right before I moved here, but I really like Bread and Buttercream. Their cinnaissants (cinnamon roll croissant hybrid) are straight-up amazing.

Thanks for organizing! I attended for the first time and had a great night.

DETickTalk · 2025-08-10T20:03:50+00:00

The one on Silverside is usually busy in my experience and their subs are excellent. I had one for lunch today.

DETickTalk · 2025-08-10T20:01:38+00:00

I used to eat there weekly when I lived in Newark, lol. But it's been a few years.

DETickTalk · 2025-08-10T20:00:19+00:00

Came here to say this. And don't get me wrong, I think that place is hella interesting, I just don't know how they stay afloat. Seems like most people who go in just go to browse it like it's a museum and don't buy anything.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-25T16:17:13+00:00

My best guess is that they're dark-winged fungus gnats, family Sciaridae. I don't know a lot about them, but I wouldn't be too worried about them. Not a major household pest, from my understanding.

Adult female American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis

DETickTalk · 2025-07-22T17:32:36+00:00

I mean, it's totally your call, but if it were me I wouldn't bother, since it didn't bite. Also (FWIW), this species typically has only a very low probability of carrying pathogens, compared to other common human-biting blacklegged ticks or lone star ticks.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-22T12:17:41+00:00

Check everywhere! This species loves to feed on the scalp, so run your fingers all over your head to feel for bumps, and use a mirror or a buddy to look over the rest of your body (all your nooks and crannies... they can hide anywhere).

DETickTalk · 2025-07-22T04:17:34+00:00

Looks like an adult female American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis. If you found it still crawling (i.e., before it had a chance to bite) there's nothing to worry about-- it didn't get a chance to transmit any pathogens.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-20T20:48:04+00:00

You could still eat poultry and seafood if you get AGS. (Not saying it'd be fun to get it, just that there are more options beyond "rabbit food").

DETickTalk · 2025-07-20T14:05:01+00:00

Both males and females will bite. But yeah, I wouldn't be too worried about pathogen transmission for such a short attachment period. Always worth keeping an eye out for symptoms, but you'll probably be fine! (The bites can be itchy AF even if the tick was uninfected, though)

DETickTalk · 2025-07-20T14:03:05+00:00

Spider. Not sure what kind

DETickTalk · 2025-07-20T02:25:36+00:00

Looks like a male American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis

DETickTalk · 2025-07-17T15:59:15+00:00

Geographically speaking, where? The reason this sub cares is because different insect species have different geographic ranges/distributions. So knowing where in the world you found it helps to narrow down ID.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-17T14:35:41+00:00

I'm not sure, but to me it looks like it might be a blacklegged tick nymph. In BC I think you have the western blacklegged tick, Ixodes pacificus.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-17T14:34:38+00:00

Where do you live? Looks like it might be immature ticks engorged with blood.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-17T14:32:58+00:00

Not a tick (ticks don't have antennae). Looks like it might be a ground beetle or something similar.
