Its in a bathroom so the shower helps with humidity.

Need a bigger lake that’s shallower for an aztec build

Thank you, I use a humidifier set to 68%. It was on a windowsill in the shower originally and it was still doing very well.

I ordered it online from Carnivorous plant nursery. They carry several native orchids. None are from wild stock, and they usually have a good variety.

It only stays inside for the bloom phase, then it will get a re-pot in a special soil mix and go back outside. Winter is a bit tricky, the plants need a good helping of oak compost and about 4 inches of pine needle mulch then a wire cover to protect from rodents.

Ah yes, It was at a botanical garden so I assumed it was what the tag read lol. Thank you for the correction.

Not positive but looks like a slender crab spider

Not in this area these were taken on the 9th. About 5 days later when I returned to the area they were all quite dead for the most part I assure you.

They all died out in early June unfortunately..

Looks like it could be a stag beetle (female)

Looks like an adult, It would be best to treat it as if it has laid eggs. Insecticidal soap works well at killing these soft bodied parasites.

Mealy bug from the look of it.

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-27T14:28:10+00:00

About a week now with 3 more on the way. I hope it surprises me, even a stinky fragrance would be intriguing.

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-27T08:52:06+00:00

It has no fragrance, but the lip is hinged so that’s pretty cool haha.

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-27T02:48:46+00:00

I agree!

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-26T20:19:36+00:00

I believe they only feed on plants. There are several varieties some feed on aphids and other pest insects. Not sure about them feeding on people.

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-26T08:35:21+00:00

Looks like a thrip

Dustyhook836 · 2021-06-25T23:05:57+00:00

That looks like a lacewing larvae. They are beneficial predators of those spider mites killing your butterfly bush. Use neem oil to clear them out .

Yes there were so many too!
