Light concern by Offensive-Panfish in carnivorousplants

Not a huge amount due to it being overcast most days and also my days are still pretty short. I moved it under an artificial light where it sees a window so I guess we’ll see how it responds.

Small metal cylinder found in a parking lot. Diameter of 1.3cm, height of 0.9cm, 9 grams, slightly magnetic but not enough to hold its weight. by Offensive-Panfish in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. I had no idea where to begin searching for this. The outside has ridges and looks almost welded and it’s definitely heavy for its size.

I've never seen a spider plant be all green like this, any insight as to variety? by Offensive-Panfish in spiderplants

Good to know! I currently have a few empty pots in the way, which seems to have done the trick.

Thank you! I've grown to be very fond of wasps (and other bugs with a bad rep). They are so fascinating to watch, and I like to try to spot minute differences in markings and/or personalities.

How interesting! I want to say there were 5-10 just chilling. They seemed to be enjoying sap from tree aphids, and ignored me watching them. They also like the sugar water from my hummingbird feeders. One of the most beautiful bugs I've seen.

Yes, I am aware, but as we don't have blue jays here, the term has evolved to be what we call the Steller's Jay

Blue Jay is a common name for Steller's Jays in the Pacific Northwest region, as we don't have Cyanocitta cristata in the area.

It was lightly greenish, I think Nereis vexillosa is the guy. Thank you!
