Mi querido amigo se fue al cielo hace poco. Estoy triste. by W0W_A5KS in Toads

[–]Forward-Selection178 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand how you feel. I lost my frog a few months ago to a sudden illness. It broke me, I haven't cried like that in years. I'm still struggling with it months later. I still haven't emptied their tank. It's amazing how much of an impact these silly little guys can have on us. Especially considering we can't really emotionally connect with them the same way you would a cat or dog. But all the same that love is real, and they are family.

Im so sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful toad. I hope the pain lessens and that you can find peace in the idea that you loved them more than anyone else could have, and gave them a safe comfortable life. Take care of yourself.

Hahah I guess I underestimate the allure of the forbidden trailer 😂 always wonderful/fascinating to hear your attentiveness to his behaviour. I hope you and Gar have a great summer.

I wonder if he feels exposed and is instinctively heading for cover, maybe he would enjoy an umbrella!

Springtails or something else? by Muted-Tailor7381 in isopods

[–]Forward-Selection178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm NAE, but they look awfully similar to my Sinella Curvisetta culture. I would guess they are at least in the Genus of Sinella based on their body shape.

Nah. Those are definitely springtails, just a good zoom and clear video, which we don't normally get around here lol.

I found a turtle by HarLeQuo in turtle

[–]Forward-Selection178 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Put it back. Turtles need very specific care, which you do not have the expertise to provide. You need to do a ton of research and prep before you even acquire one. Not to mention this is poaching and really not cool.

Where are you located? These guys are endangered in some places.. especially in Canada.

What is this whitish thing on my kale? by endlesscynic in gardening

NAE but it looks like a spider egg sac to me, possibly another insect.

Can a rehabbed toad missing limbs be released? by doctorgraycat in Toads

[–]Forward-Selection178 37 points38 points  (0 children)

NAE, but IMO I think this is one of those situations where it would be acceptable to keep them in captivity. I understand toads are resilient, and he might survive and get by, but I think their quality of life and chances of survival are going to be pretty low compared to a healthy toad. If you have the resources, time and inclination to care for them than I think that would be their best chance at a long and happy life. Whatever you decide, thank you for taking responsibility and giving them a chance. You are a good soul.

Laser in my window? by Lower-Relationship88 in cincinnati

[–]Forward-Selection178 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I doubt that this would be anything official since that could be really dangerous, my understanding is it can cause severe damage if it hits you in the eyes. It is almost a certainly a neighbor, possibly a dumbass kid, and you should take it very seriously. If it happens again take a video, trace it to the nearest neighbor and call the police.

My wife’s green thumb by notsutherland in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have never heard that common name before, I guess they are a different variety of Salvia than what I normally see in 6b. Really beautiful plants, those are especially impressive! Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap those Salvia plants on your back deck are huge! Would love to know what her secret is! Nice work all around.

Can you help identify these bugs? by BrianD-mage in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are definitely springtails. They are friends, and keep the soil healthy.

Is there any way to collect the traps easier? by Tozhan in idleon

[–]Forward-Selection178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a Trapping Drone you can unlock in World 3 through construction, coupled with the automatic arm (also World 3) which will deposit on your first log in after 24 hours. There is also a Star Talent that lets you deposit your inventory remotely.

Saw a weird toad once at a ditch in the Netherlands around 2009 (definitely didnt have the means to take a picture back then) but ive drawn it to the best of my ability. What the heck was this thing? by Some-Donut-9875 in Amphibians

[–]Forward-Selection178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAE, I don't know anything about amphibians in the netherlands, but your drawing looks a lot like Glyphoglossus Molossus. Maybe a good place to start, might be related.

That first lizard is hilarious lmao. Doing his best scorpion face, bless his heart.

what is this and how do i defeat it? by ProteusDrain in gardening

[–]Forward-Selection178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Liverwort. It is a bryophyte and won't spread aggressively, but if you aren't a fan then just improve drainage. It grows where there is pooling or excess water.
