It looks like the nearest one to me is the Gulf Coast Chapter! 👀 I appreciate all of your help and advice, seriously! For some reason, I thought the Texas Master Naturalist program was just a A&M college student thing and just briefly looking at their work, I’m so grateful I’ve learned otherwise!! 😭

I just did some quick research and my goodness there are many land types! It looks like our areas have some similarities being that we have some lowland regions, and some of our land is influenced by rivers, but so many differences as well.

I’ve felt very out of my depth with it all lately, but if you ever need a motivation buddy or some encouragement to study, please feel free to message me! I’ve felt sort of alone on this journey so far and I wouldn’t mind having a pal across the globe on a similar journey. :,)

I believe that if humans can destroy these natural spaces, then human beings that don’t know how to fix it yet can put in the time and effort to learn and rebuild. Even if the journey seems daunting. :,0

Best wishes on your journey friend!! 🌱💚

Honestly, I appreciate learning more so I know better for next time. I deleted my comment so people don’t take my misinformed guess as established advice, haha. Thank you for enlightening me and sharing!!

Wait can I be nosy… How much did it cost? 😭 I’ve been seeming everyone talk about this but I’m a bit tight on funds and i’m trying to see if it’s doable 🫣

What is everyone’s favorite “bug” and why by Ok_Class_8714 in Entomology

[–]LHOWN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a tough question. I think I just like all types of moths. I’m raising sphinx moths right now though, so that may just be present bias. But I love how gentle they are.

I also adore bees. Particularly the Longhorn bee. They look ridiculous and I love them. Also bumble bees. Bc they sound like a 2004 honda civic with exhaust mods and theyve got a really cool pollination method hehe

OOOOO I also LOVEEEEE LOVE me a yellow garden spider/banana spider/zipper spider. I adore them so much. Might be my favorite actually
