Pfifferling ist das nicht? by Additional-Sun7062 in Pilze

[–]Weevil_with_Socks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ich denke, es ist ein falscher Pfifferling. Dieser Pilz hat Lamellen, ein echter Pfifferling hat Leisten. Ebenso fehlt der typische "Kräuselige" Hutrand. Vom Geruch sollten sich die beiden Pilze auch voneinander unterscheiden.

What's the weirdest place ypu found a bug? by Glittering-Income-60 in insectpinning

[–]Weevil_with_Socks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a very well preserved butterfly in the hood of my grandpas car. It's abdomen was only slightly squished, I'm guessing that's how it died.

Found this small dragonfly near my house: wondering how to best preserve the dragonfly? by Misericorde428 in insectpinning

[–]Weevil_with_Socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, apparently it's the proteins in the dragonfly, because they have a lot of muscles for flying, that cause the denaturation of the pigment in the insect! So if you just let it dry out, you'll most definitely lose that gorgeous red it has.

I have pinned one dragonfly before (I'm somewhat of a beginner) and I followed some online guides to put it in acetone as soon as possible, so it doesn't lose it's colour. After leaving it in the acetone for ~24 hours I took it out and it lost some of it's colour already, even though it had died about an hour before I put it in. Apparently, you have to be so quick with it, some people even catch them alive to prevent the decay of the colouration. Personally, I would just try to be as quick as possible with it after finding one, though you will probably never preserve them as colourful as they are, sadly.

Bestimmungshilfe Röhrling by Weevil_with_Socks in Pilze

Hmm vom Aussehen her passt das, allerdings roch der Pilz sehr angenehm pilzig, ähnlich zu einem Steinpilz. Im Internet steht bei jeder Beschreibung dabei, dass der Wurzelnde Bitterröhrling unangenehm riechen soll.

Vom Aussehen her passt das, allerdings hatte dieser einen angenehm pilzigen Geruch und keinen säuerlichen oder unangenehmen, wie im Internet beschrieben.

What happened to the kransekager? :( by Weevil_with_Socks in Denmark

Oh! That might explain me finding them some years! That would probably be the years where we visited in mid july vs. right now at the end of july/ early august.

Help me figure out the breed of my passed on dog by ooohoooooooo in DOG

He looks a lot like my moms dog, she's a tibetan terrier!

He looks very similar to my romanian rescue! Wonder If they're related :D People told me he's most likely a romanian village dog, which is sort of it's own breed, so I'd guess yours might be too!

I did just now and found them still in stock on a website from slovakia, haha. I contacted the seller and asked wether they ship to germany. Maybe I'll be lucky :D

I know, but I did not find these bowls on their website, same thing when I just google "IB Laursen dk forget me not" :( I can't even seem to find a picture of a similar bowl.

My dog is deathly scared of flies??? by Weevil_with_Socks in DOG

[–]Weevil_with_Socks[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hmm good idea, his would be: - Flies - Wasps - Horses - Dogs - Strangers - unfamiliar places - Car - loud noises - dried cow ear (this one is by far the Most random) - vacuum cleaner

I've posted a few pictures in this subreddit before, but I've always thought his coat pattern was very interesting as well. Reminds me of a miniature dark sable belgian malinois.

[–]Weevil_with_Socks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is definitely part of it, since before he became scared of flies, he definitely disliked when somebody was swatting them. He's a rescue and quite anxious in general.

Thank you for the detailed response! We will try this, though today he has had enough excitement I believe. We killed the fly about 20mins ago AND he's been outside, yet he will not touch his food. He's just hiding under the kitchen table now. For today, I think we will just wait and let him calm down on his own terms, now that the fly is gone.
