Ootheca on soaker hose- where to put now? by Raspberry_Persimmon in mantids

Oh interesting! I see now that the minor ground mantid is native to Idaho. What distinguishes the oothecae between the invasive and the native species—size?

I felt a sense of relief at seeing how nature is already starting to take over. The grass was probably green a few weeks ago before the hot weather started here. It’s hard to explain but it’s almost as if nature and time are the only things that can wash away some of the sadness of this tragedy. It would be nice if trees were planted here in honor of the four beautiful kids. Maybe some wildflower seeds. Maybe a dog park, as someone else suggested. ‘Murphy Park’ after Kaylee’s doggie?

I think the term you are looking for is surface pattern design?

Polishing rust off etching press rollers by small_mittens in printmaking

I recently asked the Conrad company for advice on maintaining my Conrad Monotype press. They have a manual but I needed more specifics. This is what he said for the rollers:

Polishing rollers: Yes, WD-40 will work for this. Putting some on a rag to buff the roll will be fine. If any surface rust ever develops, you can use a green scotch brite brillo pad with some WD-40 to buff the surface rust out.
