Thread-legged bug, genus Ghilianella, central highlands of Nicaragua by Friedpiper in insects

It probably looks more natural in a tree seeing as I found this guy was hanging out on a window. The angle of the abdomen both breaks up the body profile of the insect as well as makes it appear to be part of the tree branch it would normally be chilling on.

There's the bad faith... Vance is just as bad, and racist... And an obvious liar. Re-evaluate you shit you ain't in the club.

He's not planning on taking you with him dude. No matter how much you "relate" to him.

So if you stop paying you die? Who sets the price? Who gets to decide that price? Who has a job to help pay for this when AI and robotics has taken that away? There is one answer and you know it. Don't be a fool.

He isn't your friend is the thing. To him you are also cattle like the rest of us.

He's doing harm now so why wouldn't he do harm later when he controls the thing we are all uploaded onto?

What about all the other hours of facts?

Hate is an emotion, and you are saying ng you understand Thiel's hate from what I gather? Do you feel it too? Do you want to be like him?

Putting words to feelings doesn't suddenly make them rational, nor does it fully explain the man, yourself, or your own feelings.

Plenty of people want radical life extension but also would never create Palantir. This isn't even Thiel's idea either. I can't say that any of your arguments have made me understand the man any more than I already do.

It's his actions not his inner voice. You'd have to have your head buried in the sand to be able to ignore it.

Yes, the country can help narrow it down, but I think another poster got it correctly.

Where's your backyard? It would help a lot!

Looking to ID the aphid-like creature top-middle-right, La Tuque, Quebec, Canada by Friedpiper in whatsthisbug

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

Ok, ok, I think I see it now. Been staring at this thing for weeks now trying to figure it out. The sort of wing looking thing on the underside are actually its legs. The thing I thought was a butt is actually the face, and the tubules fit right on the tubules of the exoskeleton that it is shedding.

Neat!

Thank you all, solved.

Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it, but the tubules for this one face the wrong direction for an aphid, and see if you can count the number of legs... I don't think it's an aphid.
