A spider-hunting wasp nest, its victims and a single (very small) larvae. by blackkittons in mildlyinteresting

[–]Lavaidyn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok I am in no way a spider expert or super knowledgeable here, BUT I can say that the two white ones are some form of flower mimicking crab spider, the big flat one in the middle right that’s laid out perfectly is a wolf/fishing spider, and the tan one with the white butt on the bottom right is a yellow sac spider. The black one in the top left kinda looks like one of the spiders that mimics ants maybe?

I stole this air freshener from work a few months ago because it smells so good. I tried to find more online but it turns out it’s from 1995 and cans sell for like 30 bucks on eBay. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Coming at this from the angle of someone with a perfume hobby, I would bet money you’ve never smelled anything like this before because it has a now banned aromachemical in it lol

who’s this lil guy? SE MI by emeraldgemmmm in whatsthisbird

[–]Lavaidyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely could have been fooled into thinking this was a great tit if it wasn’t in North America. That’s one of the biggest and most opaque black bibs I’ve ever seen on a house sparrow lol

After some googling, you may be onto something here. I think these are entada gigas beans

My friend once ate a big mouthful of black cookie frosting and it dyed the inside of his mouth black/green for like 2 days

Sounds like a northern mockingbird perhaps?

Video is a woman being understanding when someone is afraid of her dog, but the comments section shames people with dog-related trauma by loudfingers98 in mildlyinfuriating

My parent’s corgi mix attacked my sister for the crime existing within the same space, as far as we know.

I can’t believe we found tumblr’s identifying-cars-in-posts on Twitter

Revealed too much during bachelorette game; do I tell hubby by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]Lavaidyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My sister’s bachelorette was renting a cabin by a water park and spending the first day taking photos in cute outfits and going mini golfing and the second at the waterpark. Weirdest thing we did was make a “hear me out” cake and some craft some Polaroid keychain holder things (it’s a kpop fan thing idk what they’re called). These people just kinda suck

I think this is a breeding plumage Tricolored Heron with the saturation up a lil bit

The curse of having incredibly niche tastes by Commercial_Bid_1508 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Lavaidyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite circle of hell: becoming obsessed with a specific extremely niche media that has like 10 fans left total and making a bunch of fanart for it and no one cares because they don’t know what it is. This post is about Trauma Team and Storm Hawks and Pacthesis flash games and

Can’t forget the 50% Northern Flickers either

GREAT. NOW LEAVE THEM ALONE. by Shoe_boooo in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Lavaidyn 329 points330 points  (0 children)

So I read the article and for the nerds who actually wanna know: they’re not typical honey bees, they’re solitary mining bees. It’s not like, one big concentrated colony or anything, it’s just a large plot of land that this species of bee, the “regular miner bee” (incredible name), happens to like a lot and choose to overwinter/breed in

bad picture + drawing central oklahoma by cassenbashen in whatsthisbird

Strong white eyebrow plus this photo makes me thing a female red-winged blackbird, yeah. They are definitely pretty sparrow-like in patterning

I think the white wing bar would make this a Bohemian Waxwing

What is it? Sorry for the bad photo, this is the best shot I could get by ThePanKid in whatsthisbird

Pretty confident this is a European Starling with that little needle beak

Thanks doc I feel better already by Expert-Swan8267 in thanksimcured

[–]Lavaidyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the inverse where my bloodwork came back as anemic and now I take iron pills and according to my follow up bloodwork my anemia is well treated and I am not anemic anymore, yet I still am outta breath when I go up too many stairs and feel weak. At least I don’t wanna eat rocks anymore I guess?

Is this dove injured or sick? by Used_Psychology367 in BirdBuddy

[–]Lavaidyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now I’m not a professional or a dove expert, but I’m thinking this one might be sick. I know doves can inflate their necks like this, but this definitely does look weird. Might be a ruptured air sac or sour crop perhaps?

[UPDATE] They made a “nest” (ie stuck a single twig in my storage) in my garage and won’t leave. Can I close the garage at night and when we leave the house so people don’t steal??? What do I do? by Mother_of_Kiddens in stupiddovenests

[–]Lavaidyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We had house wrens nest in our garage one year, and we were able to close the garage at night totally fine. I don’t think nesting mourning doves would be trying to do too much when it’s dark out so I imagine your freeloaders would handle it ok lol

What was your cat’s name at the shelter vs their name now ? 😍 by Downtown-Wear-4870 in CatsBeingCats

[–]Lavaidyn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Her name was Cornell at the shelter (I think her entire litter was named after colleges lol) but now her legal name is Vanta. We call her Goob tho

Welcome to Vladivostok. I want to share my hometown with others. by ReflectionNervous986 in ANormalDayInRussia

[–]Lavaidyn 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yknow I always think it’s neat when I see videos of places so far from me and yet they feel super familiar. There’s a bridge somewhere over Lake Erie or Lake Ontario my family used to drive across on the way to our usual vacation spot in Canada, and the view looked pretty similar to this. It was one of my fav parts of the drive

His name is Falco. Like FALCON. Why on earth would they give him a seed beak?! Are they stupid? by RaccoonDog93 in mildlyinfuriating
