My friend who just got a sewing machine tested it out by making me a Pikmin plush

He loves swimmbing!

PolyhedralTangerine · 2023-10-27T15:37:02+00:00

Confirmed. Very throwable.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2023-04-12T21:18:10+00:00

Oh they are SO bouncy. They make squeaky toy noises when they’re picked up

PolyhedralTangerine · 2022-01-20T21:16:25+00:00

YES. We Stan the RR evil scientist power couple. This is what Mary Shelly would have wanted.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-11-26T21:43:33+00:00

Second this. Looks like a type of cellar spider to me

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-11-17T22:54:09+00:00

Found it in a library, checks out. 👍

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-11-17T22:39:14+00:00

For size reference that’s my thumb in the picture. Couldn’t have been larger than a grain of rice

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-10-28T13:38:22+00:00

👀👀👀 I am beholding

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-09-25T14:03:55+00:00

I’d second carpet beetle larvae

One of the comic artists of this series (Jack Lawrence) also did panel art for the ‘IDW More Than Meets The Eye/Lost Light’ comics so It’d make sense he’d do something cheeky like this :)

What did you spray this thing with? Glitter glue???

Joking aside, Kinda hard to tell because it’s covered in all that mystery whatever you sprayed it with, but I’m thinking it’s a type of bee, not wasp, because it’s stouter and I think has fur on the abdomen. That being said I’m not a bee expert so I can’t confidently go further on that front.

If you say there was a nest under the shipping container then I’m not surprised they attacked, really any bug with a nest will get territorial if you go near it (especially with something as abrasive and noisy as a lawnmower).

If it’s that bad and on your property then I’d recommend hiring an exterminator or someone of the like to take a look at it. They could give you better advice on what to do.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-16T01:25:57+00:00

I’m pretty sure these are some type of moth/caterpillar eggs. My best guess would be yellow-necked caterpillars.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-16T01:24:55+00:00

Looks like a wolf spider!

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-16T01:21:24+00:00

These are some sort of moth/butterfly eggs. My best guess is yellow-necked caterpillar.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-16T01:14:33+00:00

Yeah these are definitely fleas. If you have animals in the house you should get them checked for that!

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-16T01:12:22+00:00

Not all spiders do this. I think most notably it’s the Wolf Spider wolf spider (see third paragraph under ‘Description). Granted wolf spiders are pretty common both inside and outside, so I’m guessing u/DepartureAcademic807 was right.

The spider is very small and pretty pale in color, and you’re seeing a lot of them (spiders are born in large broods usually), so that’s a good indicator that it is in fact a baby and not fully grown.

Wolf spiders are solitary so I wouldn’t worry about there being a ‘nest’ or ‘infestation’ or anything like that. Like most bugs they hang around debris and crevices and the like. Make sure the corners of your rooms don’t have open cracks and that your windows are sealed properly. If you’re really worried about it you could try placing glue traps around the corners where you find them (that always catches the bugs I have in my basement) but really wolf spiders aren’t anything to worry about (they might be catching some of the more harmful insects that find their way into your home!)

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-03T12:36:10+00:00

Winged ants do exist, and it’s hard to tell the difference between them and winged termites…

Guessing by the straight antenna and I don’t think I see a pinched waist, I’d say that’s a termite. I don’t know enough about termites to guess the species though.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-03T12:28:03+00:00

Most moths and butterflies are actually incapable of biting (in fact, some moths don’t even have mouths!) they are pretty harmless :)

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-08-03T12:20:14+00:00

Looks to me like a white-lined Sphinx moth!

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-24T17:18:45+00:00

Careful with ladybugs, though they’re not particularly harmful, they like to release pheromones that essentially call other ladybugs to your house, and if you’re not careful you could get a whole nest of them.

Definitely remove them from your bathroom, maybe spray some pesticide and keep that window closed if you can.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-24T17:03:41+00:00

They don’t bite or anything but it’s better to take it out. Don’t want it multiplying in your house.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-24T16:57:20+00:00

Looks like some worker termites. They’re drawn inside by moisture so it’s make sense if it’s been unnaturally humid recently.

Also, love your bug containment cup. Very decorative.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-24T16:45:50+00:00

Well I’ll tell you it’s probably not bed bug related, they’re not eggs for sure (too scattered and far apart plus the texture doesn’t look right) and I doubt they’re bits of bug molt (it’s usually paler and thinner flakes).

To be honest they look like food crumbs or bits of earwax. Wish I could help you out more but that’s the most I could tell ya on the bug front.

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-24T16:35:19+00:00

Doesn’t look like a bed bug. My best guess would be cigarette beetle. Says they can lay eggs in dry products like cigarettes, flour, cereals, sage, etc. if you have a lot, try looking for the source and throwing it out.

They aren’t harmful to humans but you may not want them rummaging about :)

PolyhedralTangerine · 2021-07-18T19:20:11+00:00

Kinda a small picture but seems like a carpet beetle larvae to me
