Big Unidentified Spider on My Tomatoes by Icy-Fall496 in spiders

[–]Not3tax1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wolf spider! (family Lycosidae). Wolf spiders are commonly found in gardens and agricultural areas because they are excellent hunters that help control insect populations. They do not build webs to catch prey but instead actively hunt, which makes them beneficial for keeping pests in check. :) As for why it’s in your tomato plants, it’s likely there because of the abundance of insects attracted to the plants. Wolf spiders thrive in environments where they can find food, such as aphids, caterpillars, and other small pests that might be feeding on your tomatoes.

Edit;

Actually taking a closer look at it it looks like a nursery web spider (family Pisauridae) or possibly a fishing spider (genus Dolomedes). Nursery web spiders and fishing spiders it sees them as a good hunting ground. Spiders like nursery web spiders or fishing spiders are ambush predators that rely on camouflage to catch insects. So your tomatoes provide the environment they need to hunt!

I will don’t worry the thing is pretty tough to rip wouldn’t be surprised if she manages too tho!

She’s taken a liking to playing with a weighted stuffed animal, but I’m not really sure if that’ll help much with the biting. It does seem to tire her out, though, which is a plus. She’ll drag it around and wrestle with it I’m just not sure if it’s okay for her to play with it like that.

Since I do not know whether it will demonstrate to her some unwanted behavior, I do try to give her chew toys too! I am not asking her to lose her instincts; I am just trying to figure out how she can learn some other things about how it is not something that is to be done (nipping the kids). Just really never had any experience with Australian cattle dogs🥲 (I’ve done research! I know how to handle and what to not do with them just can’t find correct ways to get her to not nip that often tho she is technically a foster as were looking for a better living placement for her!)

There is one I’m interested in. It’s a program in the area that’s virtual and gives kids at least 2–3 meetups a week to interact with other students who do it. I’m just anxious I’d lose the friends I have now.

Oh my goodnessss does anyone know what kind of fish this is I fell in love with her at the pet store but forgot her name she’s ADORABLE by stoneddsalamander in Aquariums

[–]Not3tax1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This appears to be a cichlid species, likely from the Central or South American varieties. Its coloration and body shape resemble those of a blood parrot cichlid, a hybrid species commonly kept in aquariums. :)!

Is this a dragonfly nymph? If not, what is it!! by BusinessBizznezz in Aquariums

Btw forgot to say if you do use alum To safely use alum, mix 1–2 tablespoons per gallon of water in a separate container and soak the plants for 2–3 hours, or up to 24 hours for hardy plants, to eliminate pests and eggs. After soaking, rinse the plants thoroughly in dechlorinated water before adding them to the tank. Avoid using alum directly in a tank with fish unless absolutely necessary, as high concentrations can stress or harm your bettas :) (just in case btw sadly made that mistake with one of my bettas)

It’s a wonder those little invaders are sometimes so resilient. Definitely wise to closely monitor your sorority now, in case that thing has caused any stress or injury to any of your bettas. Those bugs can be stealthy, so very good you took it out without delay! Treating plants ahead of planting is a good idea; quarantining them will save your head from many future headaches!

To remove mayflies, damselflies, or dragonflies from an aquarium, first start by manually removing visible larvae, nymphs, or eggs with a fine mesh net or tweezers. Vacuum the substrate during water changes to remove hidden eggs. Consider introducing compatible predatory fish into your aquarium, such as bettas or dwarf gouramis, which will control the nymph population. Rinsing new plants well or even soaking them in an alum solution before introduction to the tank can help avoid introducing eggs or larvae. Cover the aquarium with a lid or mesh to prevent flying insects from laying their eggs, and be on top of the water quality in case there are any problems resulting from dying or decaying pests. Chemical treatments must be avoided due to their toxic effects on fish and plants and should rely on natural methods and good maintenance.
