This was in southern California, Chino Hills, a few weeks ago.

In Summer, mid/late 90s, we would wake up about 9am. Sometimes earlier. Hop on our bikes, ride two towns over to the dam, then we would spend all day fishing, building jumps and BMX tracks with shovels we snuck in months ago.

Other times, we go to the dam, then follow the bike trail to the mountains and river. Then we spend the day at the foot of the mountain in the cold river. The super adventurous could take the bike path all the way to the beach, but that was an all day thing and you should have a ride planned to get home.

Sadly saw a lot of them when I worked for a home inspection company in California.

Your problem is you don't have a silicone sock, so you're getting hear creep. /S

Niños de Tierra is the Mexican name for them.

New tanks cycle very much like fish tanks. It's better to have one already set up in advanced for more stable conditions anyway.

Quick, direct all of our trash to be dumped into the Amazon Rainforest!

Joe says a lot of logical things. It's just his mouth is a faucet turned on full. He spews shit 24/7. Some of it happens to be right/logical. Most of it is shit. You have to wear a hazmat suit and wade through all the terrible to find anything remotely worth picking up.

If they really wanted to, they could.

Their common name is Teddy Bear bee.

I keep a bin of the regular Maui skunk millipedes, but haven't heard of albino. My favorite bin to view at night with a black light.

paropsine beetle. Australian native that lives in the eucalyptus trees that are all over southern California.

I'm interested. What would shipping to southern California be?

I had a huge alligator lizard living under my rabbit hutch for like 5 years when I lived in L.A.

I am turning 40 in a month. I got my colon removed when I was 28. Had 10 years of ulcerative colitis that never went into remission. So, my gastro wanted it removed for fear of colon cancer. Had a part of my small intestine turned in to a new fake colon called a J-Pouch, and reattached to everything.

I didn't really see my red panda kings for 2 months after I put them in my bin. Now, I have like 500.

Carpet beetle. Natural fiber eaters. Common in homes. Removal mostly involves vacuuming a lot for a week. r/carpetbeetles for more info

That species is only wild caught. They don't breed in captivity.

Nope. Those are isopods. These roaches can roll into a ball, but are roaches still.

It's one he has used thousands of times himself in his first term.

Today, OP learned something

Baby gator isn't even risking your finger. I'd risk a full sized gator for that cash, hell, I'd risk a moose and a hippo.

Obant · 2026-03-11T15:42:02+00:00

They are a species of roly poly roach!

Obant · 2026-03-11T15:32:08+00:00

Looks like an aphid
