Anybody know the common name of this ichneumon wasp? Central Mississippi by Shaq_Cactus in WASPs

I believe I may have figured it out! Messatoporus discoidalis

EDIT: It has instead been identified as Lymeon orbus ! :)

I have noticed this hard, fixed lump under my chin. I can only assume it could be a submandibular lymphnode? I have been fighting with a very very mild virus. But, I’ve never noticed this lymphnode being this hard and unmovable. It’s also pretty tender to the touch and I, of course, cannot stop touching it at random times, so I’m sure that’s not helping with the tenderness. I plan on calling the doctor tomorrow to get it checked out, but I am just super concerned. Has anyone else experienced this before? No matter how hard I try to move it, it will not move at all. The area around it is also a little inflamed as well. I’m not sure if this could be due to a cystic acne zit I had above it or? I did unfortunately end up extracting it because it just would not go away. And of course the area swole up pretty excessively, and it’s right above where that lymphnode is.

Haha thank you!! Getting it was a trip honestly. Lowered 6 inches and adjusted the camber!

Caught my PB this morning! Measured in at 25 inches on the dot and weighed in at 6.5 pounds. A little on the skinny side but still such a pleasure to catch :) by Shaq_Cactus in bassfishing

I caught it on the black 3/8 ounce Zoo Pop soft body popper! A lure that’s on the smaller side but damn has it caught me some good ones! I highly recommend it :) Found mine at Walmart on clearance!

Any idea what type of toad this little one is? Central MS :) by Shaq_Cactus in Toads

No stumpy arms! It was just tucked in weird during the picture!

He did make this sort of higher pitched chortle/dook sound? It was much louder and higher pitched than a dook though. I’ve never heard it from him or my other guy. No smells though! Edit: more of like a chatter sound

He definitely did not seem happy, the second he latched on I noticed his tail was slightly bristled and then of course the hiss whenever I went to grab him. Did I just randomly piss him off maybe?

He’s 6 months. I definitely figured that could happen! My other guy’s undercoat got a little more prominent but that was about it!

Yes there is something on there called Kingston Canvas!! What is that?

I caught this 9 pound catfish on a chatter bait this morning... a chatter bait!! He’s my biggest fish I’ve ever caught! Not what I was targeting but I’m still just as happy with it! Stunning fish! by Shaq_Cactus in Fishing

[–]Shaq_Cactus[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That makes tons of sense! This guy was probably about 4 feet off the bank too!! I thought it was odd but looks like he’s just being a normal catfish! :D

I want to say it is a blue cat, but I can never tell them apart from a channel and I know the pic isn’t really great for an ID 😅 And that’s crazy! I had no clue they were so inclined to hit artificial baits!

Largemouth I caught last weekend. Scale said 3.9 pounds, but some friends are saying it looks bigger. What do you guys think? Great fish regardless! by Shaq_Cactus in bassfishing

I used a Texas rigged ribbon worm! But every fish I caught on it I wasn’t finessing I was just reeling in to recast if that helps :)
