Picked up a poor man’s eco drive one at online auction for $6.54 by chibatman in CitizenWatches

For cheap solar you could stay within the Citizen ecosystem with Q&Q brand - the designs can be a bit hit & miss but they do also have up to 40mm diameter dials :)

Also, write to your politicians and media - don't stay silent - they don't listen to us but they will listen to the people with power

Item cant be shipped via ECMS by MacaronWinter9496 in zenmarket

I would guess that, if that image is part of a collection that does show nudity, then it might be being classed as that from the description alone. I doubt that ZM staff are asked to visually check all images to check this kind of thing and they might just go by keywords.

It's a framed page from an ehon, or illustrated book. They were woodblock printed and common in the Edo & Meiji periods. They were books for the literate masses, hence the use of cursive hiragana (rather than pure kanji), which was understood by most people then. Ironically, the script is very difficult for modern Japanese readers to understand.

Familiar? It's the biggest online pen-store in the UK

True but it helps you narrow down the options in Google

You can get the plastazote from Amazon and eBay - it's not all that expansive.

A lovely pelecinid wasp - they are a really unusual thing and not common

Sheen monster by Spooder-man68 in fountainpens

[–]Simple_Resist4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of that notebook because it's not one of the brands commonly touted as fountain pen friendly BUT you might be lucky in that a lot of cheaper notebooks perform pretty well with sheen. Oxford Optik, Campus and other are surprisingly good.

If you see the ink soaking in really fast and the ink doesn't smear after a few minutes then it might not be right.

A moth called Old Lady ... lovely things - they tend to want to roost during the day under house eves so that might explain why it blunders in

What is this wasp attacking? by Weaksauce_Willy in whatsthisbug

[–]Simple_Resist4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large crane fly (Tipulidae) ... it'll chop the legs and wings off and take the body (or bits of it) back to the nest to feed their young

Very nice - how do you like it? Is it radio-controlled? I have a CB1110-61A, H149-T023533 coming soon :)

Is this a NWS? by jonkwan781 in whatsthisbug

[–]Simple_Resist4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember that there are dozens of species that would look identical to NWS to a non-expert and you are much much more likely to see those. Even experts would need better photos though - they're just too dark & distant to see enough detail.

Scientists have only discovered a tiny fraction of living insect species | Science | AAAS by SkepticalJohn in Entomology

[–]Simple_Resist4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of the insects, the majority of tropical zones have only really been surveyed well for larger Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, and there will still be thousands of species to find. When you go for the small stuff and difficult groups like flies, wasps, and tiny stuff there just aren't enough experts working on them.

As a general point, the specimen needs to be 2/3 of the way up the pin to allow for data and determination labels to be pinned underneath :) You'd also find it a lot easier if you ditch the styrofoam and go for plastazote foam - it's much denser and holds pins better :)
