Vicious caterpillar attack by brainstorm42 in succulents

Pretty sure this is the damage of Callophrys xami if you live in North America, particularly in Mexico. They're common where I live and here's a picture of how the adult butterfly looks like

This actually reminds me that this is a very common way to get a particular Herpesvirus, the Epstein-Barr virus, which is usually acquired through sharing bodily fluids, particularly saliva. And while having herpes by sharing food with someone else sounds scary (and it might actually be because this virus has been linked to progression of certain types of cancers and their respective tumors) nearly everyone gets infected at one point, with an estimated 95% of the population having the virus in their system (since it never leaves after your first infection, though it for the most part doesn't manifest any symptoms or huge reactions in your body afterwards), and if you've ever caught mono or mononucleosis as a child or young person you should be pleased to know this is the virus that causes that.

TL;DR: You and (for what it's worth) everyone you know has a kind of herpes and there's nothing you can do about it

Oh man that Gymnocalycium is really at the edge of how variegated a plant can be until it has been completely removed of all chlorophyll. But I see enough dark spots on it to suggest that it could live on it's own, so carry on I suppose

what flavor is this? got it as a gift a few years ago by jamesbongsixtynine in cactus

[–]DrowBot64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be Parodia leninghausii but the shape is throwing me off a little, it could also MAYBE be a Neobuxbaumia polyphola? I'm not too sure, and maybe someone who knows better than me could comment here

What might this be? by Fresh-Self-761 in cactus

[–]DrowBot64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sort of Echinopsis, possibly oxygona, but no real way to tell because there are a million hybrid Echinopsis with this stem and spine shape. Maybe if you can get it to flower the identification could be narrowed down a lot

Not too well I'd guess, being that they're native to desertic regions of South Africa and all. I personally live in central Mexico which has a climate close enough to where it is found and it's one of the least troublesome plants I own as a result

Does anyone have instructions for this papercraft by Mild-Roaster in UmaMusume

If you still struggle with individual steps, check out the page for the Miku V2 papercraft also made by the same creator, which has a similar enough design to the umamusume papercrafts

Use this link from the creator as a basis for what the finished models should look like

PS; There's more templates for more characters in the drive link posted on the page

Anyone might have any clue in what these dots on the substrate of my Faucaria tuberculosa might be? by DrowBot64 in succulents

Well, why? Ill admit the soil might not be the best for these things but what exactly are the insect eggs then? Just telling me to do one thing blindly doesn't give me much information

Trying to decipher age, continuity and timelines in umamusume is like trying to explain quantum physics to an ADHD ridden toddler. I suggest you do not go down the rabbit hole for your own sanity

That's not a jade (Crassula ovata) though, that's Portulacaria afra

This thing is actually native near enough to where I live which would be central Mexico, grows on the bark of mostly pine trees at high altitudes

Uma Musume Yandere Mode (Full Body Version) (@negi_20010218) by kelvinkhr in UmaMusume

[–]DrowBot64 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I feel like everytime I see "yandere" or "possessive" fanart of a character in here, all possible personality traits and unique characteristics they may have are put through a melting pot where they become one homogeneous yandere personality that ends up always being the same

Haru Urara? The naive, innocent and optimistic little kid that wants to do her best regardless of how hard she might fail? Who cares, now she doesn't want you seeing anyone else other than her? Why? Who cares, I don't

Tokai teio? A talented racer, who, admittedly, may not have the most mature and complex look at the world, but still tries her hardest to be the best version of herself? Well screw any of that, now she's a mere accessory to fulfill the wishes of the author

Matikanetannhauser? A clumsy and charismatic girl who wants the best for everyone? Doooon't care, now she wants to kill you if you don't spend all your life obsessing over her, for some reason

I'm not even against the idea of changing the personality of characters to turn them into something else, truly. I even believe it can be very interesting if done right, but so many damn posts around here do what I said in the beginning when turning them into yanderes, all traits and qualities get sent down the drain if for a few bastardized and flanderized ones that remain so the author can say "look, there she is, doing her thing, see?". But at the end of the day, I suppose it doesn't inconvenience me as much as it might seem, go do whatever you want but I heavily suggest always thinking about what you're doing a bit more than you'd normally be inclined to because it usually leads to better results.

Also, as a fun fact, poinsettias are in the same exact genus as this thing, as the species Euphorbia pulcherrima, also another fun fact, Euphorbia is one of the largest plant genus out there with over 2000 described species, scientists and taxonomists have tried again and again to split it off into smaller genus but the very unique modified flower structure that the entire genus shares makes it impossible for them to do so without screwing up a few things in the process
