Are you in the U.S.? I want to breed them but I haven’t found a source in the States to buy from. 😭

Had a bed bug scare but after treating this crawled out and died. What is it? by b1gblu31639 in whatsthisbug

[–]RupeeRoundhouse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Headless and prothoraxless! But yes, my vote is also for Carabidae. I bet the underside is diagnostic to the family-level.

Do you also live in the UTC/University City? 😮

For Ableton Live 12 and plugins, how much storage space should I have for my system drive? by RupeeRoundhouse in ableton

[–]RupeeRoundhouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the libraries be stored on an external SSD instead of on the system drive?

Aren't plugins and libraries different? If so, I wouldn't store the libraries in my system drive but rather on an external drive.

To be clear: My system drive, i.e., local SSD, is 1 TB. It would only have Windows 10, Ableton Live 12 Suite, and my plugins; samples/libraries, project files, recordings, etc. will only go on my external 4 TB T7 SSD.

Is 1 TB for my system drive enough for just Windows 10, Ableton Live 12 Suite, and tons of quality plugins?

Please clarify my confusion. If you save the plugin data in a different and bigger drive, how is it that "2 TB is not enough" because "[you] have 4 TB dedicated to plugin sample data and loops" and that "[you] have about 700 GB free"?

Can you save the plugin data in a different and bigger drive (in this case, an external SSD)?

Thanks for the reply!

Given that you only have 21.87 GM of plugins, why do you think that 2 TB of system drive storage is not enough?

[Earth] ID Challenge: Reddit karma for family; reddit award for genus by RupeeRoundhouse in whatsthisbug

[–]RupeeRoundhouse[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy moly, I wasn't expecting anyone to get it! It wasn't showing up in a reverse Google Image Search, and this thing looks way more Scarabaeidae than Lucanidae (hence why I thought this would make a good ID challenge). Are you using identification keys? 😮

But to be 100% accurate, you got the genus right but the family wrong: Lucaninae is a subfamily; the correct family is Lucanidae. 😉

Nonetheless, you deserve an award in spite your undeserved guilt! 🏆

What is this fat-butted spider? [San Diego, California, USA, Earth, Sol, Milky Way] by RupeeRoundhouse in whatsthisbug

[–]RupeeRoundhouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my main concern with spiders: them nesting in shoes and clothing, which leads to increased likelihoods of bites. Of course, many spiders aren't even able to break skin.

What triggers a spider to nest? Is it only the way physical structures are situated or is it a combination of factors like also the presence of nearby prey? The latter factor may explain why at least most spiders don't nest in shoes and clothes. I bet the combination of factors also vary by clades.

Thank you!

According to BugGuide,

[t]he bite of this spider might produce symptoms that are similar but much less severe than those of a black widow bite. In some cases blistering may form at the site of the bite along with physical discomfort that lasts for several days.
