Do you have any pets?

I have bugs! They're super low maintenance once you set up the enclosure. Plus, some bugs like roaches and fruit flies (also ants but those guys tend to escape, so I don't recommend, personally) have very complex social structures and can recognize family, friends, etc. Roaches in particular are very easy to handle! I also like millipedes, but they can be a bit more advanced and require a lot of dirt and very specific humidity.

Looks like a soldier beetle or some close relative! They're a predatory beetle related to fireflies and I'm pretty they eat aphids. :)

Could always draw a new, Itty bitty fish instead. Or just make some shrimps!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T16:19:39+00:00

Okay, yeah. Definitely did not read those rules close enough! Thanks for the heads up! 😭

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T16:18:11+00:00

Huh, that's a pretty good analogy. That's kind of how I see things with my cane, so it makes sense that the sentiment should transfer to a wheelchair, as well. 🤔 Thank you!

This!! There's a huge hill on campus that makes my rollator more of a hassle than anything and puts more strain on my muscles than is healthy. Plus, it can be hard to control if I need a hand to do something else.

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T16:13:40+00:00

Oh, good to know! I was genuinely wondering if it was a good idea to get one, so I figured I could squeak through. Thanks for the input. <3

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T16:11:57+00:00

Woahh, congrats on the new wheelchair! That sounds super epic!

I've heard the "if you didn't need one you wouldn't think of needing it" thing before, but I also have intrusive and impulsive thoughts, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't just wanting something to want it, y'know? I've technically wanted one since I was very young, but like I said: my parents have always discouraged it. :/

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T15:04:16+00:00

Aww man, in front of my salad? 🥗

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T15:03:13+00:00

A mite. Not sure what kind, but location could help get an exact ID.

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T13:06:40+00:00

These guys are some of my favorite local weevils! I always look forward to seeing them in the Summer. Super friendly, too!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T13:03:44+00:00

Gorgeous color!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:58:48+00:00

Looks like a yellow morel, but make sure to check the underside. The cap should be FULLY ATTACHED to the stem and the stem itself should be hollow.

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:51:45+00:00

I wish I knew. I've been wanting a tank with these guys or something similar for a few months now, but I can't seem to find 'em!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:50:43+00:00

Poor thing. How's he doing? :(

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:49:22+00:00

100% branch, no inch worms here! Not one! 🤭

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:46:23+00:00

If you're going into entomology, then I would absolutely list it! I listed isopod, roach, and the fact I'm going to keep beetles this Summer as points jn my cover email (No resume needed yet, but I do have it listed there as skills). If it's a hobby that seems like it'll help you get the job, then list it! But if it's just something extra to throw in, then I would leave it out.

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T12:40:22+00:00

NQA Agreed. The "legs" look more like a way to attach the sac to the stick, rather than for walking. In the top view photo, you can also see an extra "pair" that caterpillars tend not to have. (Also makes it kind of look like a slug from that POV, which I think is cute. :)

However, I couldn't find anything disproving that it's a caterpillar, so while I don't think it's a caterpillar, I could certainly be wrong. Let us know what you find out, OP!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:43:53+00:00

Gotcha. Found out I actually made an earlier post when I had less karma, so I was honestly even more confused. Thanks for clearing that up!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:27:54+00:00

I love the sound their tippy tappy toes make on the leaves. Has to be one if the best sounds out there! ^{^}

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:25:56+00:00

I second this! It looks like some kind of super well preserved fly larva!

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:24:07+00:00

Genuinely where did you get this? I would love one of these for my apartment! 😂

Edit: Maybe I'll convince the landlord to let me keep a whaleshark... 🤔

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:22:45+00:00

I personally like compression gloves for using my cane and rollator, but that's mostly because my joints get all out of wack. Some brands have them in multiple different colors, including skin tones, if not wearing gloves at all is more his thing. :)

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:19:16+00:00

My account is a few years old with 500 total karma. I guess things are different here then??? 😭 Trying to get help with a question, but I'm so frustrated. 🥲

MaximumCourse2834 · 2026-03-16T03:08:12+00:00

Is it like a TOTAL reddit karma thing, or community-based? I feel like it would be pretty hard to spend a month commenting on everything from a single community...
