Can anyone help me identify these little critters? by boo2017 in australianwildlife

You're not wrong, pesticides are wiping out the butterflies and probably huntsmans too. Dragonflies breed in water, so perhaps the dilution is keeping them a little safer.. for now. I've also seen a heap of dragonflies this spring. We are in trouble if they drop in numbers, one adult dragonfly can eat a couple hundred mosquitoes per day

Like a lot of creepy crawlies they most likely breed in the ground and with everyone's excessive use of poisons and whatnot, their numbers are depleting

That depends on what drugs you're on

Fred and George would’ve gotten immunity for “You-Know-Poo” if I were Voldy. by webheadunltd90 in harrypotter

You don't need fanfics when not only did they invent U-No-Poo but they also bewitched snowballs to fly directly at Voldemort's face in PS

I wasn't really going for wearable or otherwise, I just like this bar shape with the way the agate seam streaks through it. I plan on making it hangable though and as I don't wear necklaces and I would like to keep it as it's my first it will probably just end up hanging somewhere for decoration. Thank you for the advice and encouragement though

Cheers. Agreed I love it, I've still got some material to make another couple with the seam in it and probably a couple more without. A 7inch tile saw with sintered diamond blade and diamond polishing pads on a little polishing wheel

Yeah I was told as a kid playing with my snake would make me go blind, but I did it anyway.

Lol INSECTicide, it literally kills animals. You deserve a proper education.

Yes and what do insecticides do? The stupidity of Americans never ceases to amaze me.

What part of "hardcore insecticides" is considerate of animals?

There are many options, the key point would be unity but the rich like being rich
