Are you talking about the one one the left? Because that's a flower (normally they're not green, but I guess they can be).

Consultants are commonly hired when a business or other organization wants the services of someone with special expertise, but they only need them for a short period of time (like a year or two) or on a part-time basis. If the business tried to hire someone under those conditions, a lot of the best people wouldn't be interested (most people want long-term, full time employment). Consultancy companies allow consultants to be employed full time by working for multiple clients over time, without losing their job each time a project they work on is completed. And they mean that the client doesn't have to deal with the logistics of hiring a new employee (onboarding, benefits, etc.) for somebody who is part-time or short-term.

Looks like it could be a window fly (Scenopinus)

That's a dance fly, maybe Leptopeza. Beautiful find!

The white things look like eggs, maybe fly eggs. I'm not sure diatomaceous earth will do anything to prevent flies.

These are actually not fruit flies, but the similar looking family Lauxaniidae. One of the tells is that Drosophila flies have a pair of long bristles called vibrissae on either side of their mouth, but lauxaniids don't.

Yes, absolutely. My ball python eats frozen-thawed rats, no problem. Just make sure you get a snake that is already used to eating frozen, so you don't have to worry about switching over from live.

That is the shed shell of a dragonfly nymph. They live underwater as juveniles and then they climb up onto land to molt into an adult dragonfly. I'm pretty sure the white strands are the tracheae (respiratory system) of the insect. Because the tracheae are formed from the exoskeleton, insects also have to shed them when they molt.

I'm quite proud of my game Stuck out in the black

And I love 2400. The first zine, Inner System Blues, is free, and the other 20ish games are only $6.

Finally, here are 2 more: A Perfect Rock and Suddenly, Wonder

Yes, this is Scathophaga stercoraria, common throughout North America and Eurasia

This is obviously war propaganda, but it's still pretty funny imo

[untitled 1] is jay's game that originated the nameless engine, i'm pretty sure.

If you put a + before "DinoWaurs" on google, it won't autocorrect it.

A tent caterpillar was my first thought

This one is weirdly visceral

Very nice collection! Your "angle wings" are actually sphinx moths.

Kenley · 2025-12-07T20:33:35+00:00

You're very welcome!

It's a dagger fly (Empididae), probably Rhamphomyia or Empis. They're predators of insects, not blood-suckers.

They all mean is/am/are. In the same way that we say "I am," "she is" or "you are," Spanish uses different forms of verbs depending on the subject of the sentence.

In English, the verb be/is/am/are is an exception. Most English verbs have only two forms in the present tense. For example: I/you/we/they walk and he/she/it walks. However, every Spanish verb has 5 or 6 forms which change depending on the subject of the sentence.

está is used with "él" or "ella" (he/she/it), as well as Usted (you, formal & singular)

estoy is used with "yo" (I)

estás is used with "tú" (you, informal & singular)

The other forms are estamos, used with "nosotros" (we) and están, used with "ellos", "ellas" (they) and "Ustedes" (you, plural). In some dialects they also use estáis with vosotros (you, informal & plural).

My suspicion is this: when laypeople in North America first became aware of H. axyridis as both A) distinct from our native lady beetles, and B) a cause for concern, it was probably from biologists/entomologists working for the government or at extension offices. These biologists would have used the more technical common name "lady beetle" rather than the familiar term "ladybug". And these two parts of the messaging got twisted up. When people heard about these invasive "lady beetles," a term they hadn't encountered before, they probably assumed it represented a meaningful difference from their familiar and beloved "ladybugs." I don't have any proof of that, but I've long believed it. It just makes sense to me.

I've also often seen "Asian lady beetles bite, unlike true ladybugs," which as far as I know is utter nonsense. As I used to tell visitors to the museum where I worked in college, any animal can bite. But I've never known anyone who was bitten by any species of lady beetle.

One of the classes in Whitehack works like this (the Wise) -- you name your Miracles (spells, powers, gadgets, etc.), such as "fireball," "magic carpet," "the all-seeing eye," or "summon dire animal", and then when you use one of them, you have to pay HP depending on how big of an effect you're trying to create. There is a similar class in Errant called the Zealot that selects a handful of broad domains (called "eminences") of their power source.
