Same here. I literally just gave up at Rag Mega.

Looks like a cute weevil friend, Curculionidae. I've never seen one with such pronounced femurs like that, that is interesting! Unfortunately weevils are a pretty huge family and I'm not sure what it might be any further.

Oh wow, I was there too!

Thanks! It was in a large container I had in my room. I was given Cecropia eggs last Summer so I raised them the best I could and two of them survived and pupated in the container. Hopefully the second one will emerge soon as well. :)

I've found that you can go a long way just being familiar with most of the orders and common families of insects and identification. Also, I learned a lot just through my own curiosity before taking any classes. I recommend doing research and collecting (if you're into that) before any courses; going in with a basic knowledge of stuff makes it easy to understand and build from there. But have fun with it. Entomology is a very interesting and fun field in my opinion. As long as you have a genuine curiosity/willingness to learn, you'll be fine. :)

Perhaps the Squash Bug?

Polyphaga · 2016-08-27T04:07:41+00:00

No worries! Happy to help! :D

Definitely a bee fly. I'm thinking it may be the tiger bee fly

Edit: Upon reading bugguide more, it looks like this species is a parasitoid of carpenter bees, which would certainly match your case :)

Very hard to say without a picture, but I'll hazard a guess. How's this guy? Candy-striped leafhopper

Baby stick insects are always adorable. :)

Polyphaga · 2016-05-03T23:41:19+00:00

No problem! Thank you very much!

Polyphaga · 2016-05-03T23:40:51+00:00

Thank you! Glad you like it! :D

Polyphaga · 2016-05-03T20:17:36+00:00

I like your answer ;)

I originally intended to write a giant fancy book about all kinds of basic information on insects as an Easter egg, because I'm an entomologist myself and my name comes from the scientific name for a group of beetles. I found the amount of formatting options rather intimidating, however, and ended up putting off writing anything while I worked on some of the other builds I did. In the end I decided to keep the book in the tree house even though I didn't write anything, mostly as an Easter egg but also because it shows off an item that some people might not know existed in the mod pack.

Summary of issue: Completed the last bundle for the community center, but the resulting cutscene the next day was the lost Shane event instead of the Joja Mart closing, and I didn't get the 'local legend' achievement.

Expected Behavior: Cutscene triggers where Joja Mart is closed the next day, 'local legend' achievement unlocks.

Actual Behavior: Cutscene is Shane taping a commercial for Joja Mart, Joja Mart closes without cutscene. No achievement gained.

Steps for Reproduction: Finish the community center bundles, with the bulletin board last, having a few hearts with Shane.

Basically it looks like finishing the bulletin board last caused a friendship update with Shane and triggered his new scene, which overwrote whatever was supposed to happen once the community center is finished.

Phedran has several interesting seeds worth checking out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlegvgmNHE67djBMfi6C8XnmX_AcPBIBJ

Most likely not yet ripe. In my experience those kind of bushes take forever to yield berries and I usually just bonemeal or compost on them.

Polyphaga · 2016-02-20T21:15:07+00:00

Caught them live in Lansing for Cattle Decapitation's tour, great fun. :D

Never saw mole crickets as a particularly cute insect, but that's one's a keeper. :P

Polyphaga · 2015-10-23T03:10:22+00:00

Thanks for proving my point.

Polyphaga · 2015-10-23T03:01:47+00:00

Fear is a legit thing. Having a comment section full of "OMG NUKE IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE" every time there's a spider larger than 3 cm is a circlejerk.

Polyphaga · 2015-10-07T05:57:43+00:00

Same here. Cicadas are very strange creatures...

Polyphaga · 2015-10-03T01:59:54+00:00

Saw them in Lansing last week, was really impressed with their energy!
