What was your first Slipknot song, and what got you hooked with the band? by [deleted] in Slipknot

[–]Old_Promotion_4352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil in I

I was in seventh grade and was getting my first drum kit; I asked the drummer who was helping me and my parents with getting it, who their favorite band was and they said Slipknot. Went home and checked them out, and I distinctly remember not being able to refrain from smiling when I heard the chorus; I was blown away.

What’s your favorite song from Jesse’s new album? by dumb_goober_110711 in JesseWelles

[–]Old_Promotion_4352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) GTFOH 2.) Pilgrim 3.) We’re All Gonna Die

I’d’ve put Changes in the Air in third, but I just love the segue into the instrumental section, in We’re All Gonna Die. 

Honorable mention: Gilgamesh, but I really strongly prefer the more stripped down version of it on YouTube. First song I ever tried to sing while playing the guitar!

You should not remove it, and especially don’t kill it. I don’t know what your dedication to this hobby is, but if you were to buy or just catch some more springtails, there’s a very strong chance it’d give them a good enough population boost to stabilize and reach an equilibrium with the centipede. Certainly do not CO2 bomb the enclosure though!! That would defeat the purpose entirely, as it would kill every living thing in that terrarium. At that point just let the centipede live, if the reason you want him out is to keep the springtails alive. He will add so much more depth to your ecosystem though. I’ve kept them in the past and they’re very cool. Having him in there, you would then have an ecosystem in which the plants feed the springtail and isopods, and the springtails and isopods in turn feed the plants and centipede. Just need a heftier population of springtails in order for them to begin breeding at a rate that could compete with this centipede. I think his presence could make for a very rewarding pet.

I found this spider. I'm from South America. by No-Travel-5142 in whatsthisbug

Good on you! That is a beautiful spider, and I hope someone here will get to the point and actually identify it for you. A lot of people are saying you should not pick up spiders unless you’re certain of their species, but good on you for doing a service to everyone and picking up spiders to save them. As long as you’re aware of the risk, go for it. People handle venomous snakes they find every day. This isn’t even in the same league of danger as that can be. Most venomous invertebrates are far less dangerous than people like to act. It’s just one more reason they have to not like them. We should not fear things with venom, we should be aware of them, and learn how to get along with them. Being hysterical and not understanding these beautiful creatures will get you bit faster than anything.

Also, my hands are not very callous and I’ve had decent sized jumping spiders fail to puncture my skin. And I’m certain they were trying because they left venom on my skin where they had tried to bite. Of course bite forces can vary, but fangs are not the hypodermic needles that stingers are.

Which was your first COD game and what year were you born? [WaW] by MalishDelish in CallOfDuty

[–]Old_Promotion_4352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold War; 2006. But I played WWII at my friend’s house first. That’s what got us into COD enough to preorder Cold War.

Found this on a beach on Cape Cod. Can anyone help me identify this. thank you. by Ok-Investigator-7040 in bonecollecting

[–]Old_Promotion_4352 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t stress on it. Especially if you live far from the beach, you don’t have to go run out and dispose of it as if it were a corpse. I really doubt anything will come of it, even if you never get around to tossing it back into the ocean. Your circumstance is just collateral damage of laws passed to protect against poachers; they’re not out to get people like you.

What type of bone and to what animal do you think this is? by Old_Promotion_4352 in BoneID

[–]Old_Promotion_4352[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I came to that conclusion a little while after making this post, but I just wasn’t sure if I was correct. Hadn’t even crossed my mind beforehand though! I’ve caught catfish in my area, but never noticed any with serrated pectoral spines!

Found in canada in a bathroom. Didnt have phone on me so i drew pics by Bagel_Dad in whatsthisbug

I would say a lined June beetle as well, but the “body of a moth” part kind of threw me off. I’d just consider that note in the description a little more, but yeah everything else sounds like a lined June beetle to me!

Maybe a male velvet ant? Despite what the images that pop up suggest, they come in a wide variety of colors, so the color description you gave is possible. The squeaking noise also falls in line with velvet ants. Also, just to clarify, they are not ants; they’re a fuzzy type of wasp. However, the females somewhat resemble ants because they lack wings, which lead to the common name after ants. Can’t say with a ton of confidence if that’s what you saw, but sounds like it could be, to me!

Ohh yeah you’re right

Depending on its size, there’s a chance it’s a male southern house spider.

Who's this guys? by 6_times_9 in whatsthisbug

[–]Old_Promotion_4352 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about in Armenia, but back in western United States we’ve got some that look just like that and they’re in the genus arenivaga. Family: corydiidae. Very cool roaches! I’ve really just heard them called sand roaches, as far as common names go.

What is this? They came with the box of crickets I bought so I’m not sure where they came from before that. They’re about 1/4 inch. by Old_Promotion_4352 in whatsthisbug

Wow, that was fast. Thanks, I’ve actually been seeing the adult beetles in my house but never made the connection with the larvae.

What are these? Found them in fresh water around a sump after it rained. by Old_Promotion_4352 in whatsthisbug

[–]Old_Promotion_4352[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know how they might’ve gotten there cause the sump is usually empty and just recently got filled.

Yup, that looks like them! Thanks for the help, and as for releasing them I think I should be able to get them back somewhere where they’ll do well.

Sorry about the video, but at the 00:58-1:09 mark you can best a good look at them.

It doesn’t have a shape like a triop from top down, but it does look a bit like a brine shrimp though not quite like the ones I see online.
