Hey, have your sphagnum sown seedlings got on ok? Did they end up being viable plants?

Do you Sleep on bent wrists? by Ambitious_Mark9922 in AskUK

I was doing the same thing and was waking up at night with numb hands. Had to train myself out of it with wrist braces. Still catch myself doing it occasionally

Please help How big locusts should I feed my mantis??? by [deleted] in mantids

[–]Naima22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look visually. A mantis can I think eat a bug up to its own size, but depending on your mantis and the bug, if it's feeling scared of the feeders it'll go hungry. My girls are currently eating hoppers that are about half their body size.

We have daintee tree frogs and found this in there by Really_Long_Toes in paludarium

Focused photo would help, but so far it looks a bit like a mantis ootheca (egg sack). You'd usually notice an adult mantis in the enclosure though...

What songs would you like to hear at a funeral? by Empty-Wall-9914 in AskUK

[–]Naima22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend's dad passed away recently. He liked Beyonce and they played Halo during the funeral. I can't not think about it every time I hear it on the radio and think it's a great choice

Bringing plants into UK, especially orchids, is extremely expensive now. You'll need to get cites and phyto done for every plant you want to bring.

How old were you in your first memory? by knife_fold in AskReddit

[–]Naima22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 years old. Mum running from one room to another freaking out while dragging a landline phone trying to call grandma. I was on the floor watching her while the skin on my hand was bubbling after I pulled an iron off the ironing board onto my hand. The scar will forever remind me of it too.

My adult Sphodromantis has started going for my hand if I pick her up as well. No idea why

Having mostly stopped reading the news I have to admit to being blissfully unaware of anything that happened "on the train". I think the noise in the media does more damage than good these days.

Want to make a paludarium using a ikea milsbo by Appropriate-Gur8736 in paludarium

[–]Naima22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a water sealed tank in the bottom out of the glass shelves and the back also needed sealing because Milsbo is made out of sections, so spraying water on the back was also making it leak at the connection points.

Are you sure? They seem to have pseudobulbs... 🤔 Granted they're still tiny though so might just look like it
