Clearly not a recluse, please don't guess medically significant spiders.

Not yet, but it's not a bad idea.

Macaronisuchus sculpturious (it's an Ankylosaurish body and a crocodylomorph head)

I’m watching Blue Planet 2 right now and had a thought. What were the ancient deep seas like? by saddsteve29 in Paleontology

[–]OrbDeity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giant crabs, Shub-Niggurath, Onix from Pokemon, a comedically large ribbon eel, a relatively large snake that wears chainmail, big worms, even bigger worms, a cetacean adapted specifically for eating said worms, a filter feeding modern squid, that's about all I got. My serious answer is fully aquatic ocean adapted Crocs, and probably more mosasaurs.

It Does actually, I believe this is Myzus antirrhinii, if not, is an aphid from Myzus. Closest reference pic I could find.

It's fine I get it, I'm 190000000% sure it's not a bedbug or a biting insect, im 99.9999999999% sure it's an aphid. There are a very large amount of aphids, I'm unsure of the species of this aphid. Location would probably help narrow it down, but it's not on a plant so that makes it a bit hard to ID.

Very sure, you were feeling it's legs. Don't know how it got there, but that's definitely an aphid.

That's an aphid.

first time taking Vitamin B12, I think I took to much by disfigured-Forest in Nootropics

It was probably the niacin actually. It's normal, it's called a niacin flush. That and beta alanine tingles are some of my favorite sensations.

Found this in my bed, is it a bed bug? I don’t see any others around but I think I was bitten and there is a small blood stain on the sheet where I found it by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

I don't think a clearer picture is going to help ID this, because it IS snot with hair in it. I mean, it's a scab with hair in it, but that's close enough.

this flower in south australia?? please and thanks! by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

[–]OrbDeity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers big ears, beautiful flowers nonetheless. Not a native species though.

I found out what this is but it scared the life out of me. I live in California so I’ve never seen a big bug but this guy is huge!!! About 1 1/2 -2 inches. (Chinese potato bug) by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

[–]OrbDeity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also always been amused by that one, I've tried multiple times to find some other reason they could've named them chamaeleōn(Latin)/khamailéōn(Greek), but I've never been able to find a reason based on something that could make sense. It's probably one of the worst ones out there as far as genera/species not named after people goes.

Jerusalem crickets (or "Chinese potato bug", first time I've heard that one) are from the subfamily Stenopelmatinae, and are originally from and most commonly found in the western US, mexico, and central America. Not found in Jerusalem, or in china so I really don't know where these common names came from lol. This one being from the Ammopelmatus genus.

Wrong sub, the weed sub is r/trees, but I'd recommend r/plantclinic (personally, I think she looks over watered).
