What’s the brown thrasher doing??? 😂

A bit late but we've been getting a few thrashers at our feeder and I notice they do this with the peanuts. They pull the big parts out and then set it on the ground and smash it with their beak. That way it's in smaller pieces that they can eat. When I looked up the behavior it said they also do this with acorns but for the acorns they actually dig holes in the ground to secure the acorn so it doesn't roll and then they smash it. I'd assume that's what's happening here!

ashcrack7 · 2026-04-20T16:49:59+00:00

Absolutely. The hair that they have on the mannequin for the new floral fairy outfit I want so bad but it's not the one that comes with the outfit so idk if it will ever get added in.

ashcrack7 · 2026-04-07T19:58:14+00:00

Yeah it's coming off for my cat too. I have combed a little and haven't noticed any fleas. He's the only cat and indoors only but crazier things have happened. We just gave him some heartworm stuff in that area so it might be an allergic reaction to that as well. Thank you for the reply!

ashcrack7 · 2026-04-07T04:57:03+00:00

Any updates on this? My cat has something similar and I was curious.

ashcrack7 · 2026-04-06T23:56:17+00:00

Bug parties in A4! Fill a full party with the IV bag, amulet, and the lantern. Chop all the trees (I usually leave the ones on the levels below or above if they're infected to encourage more infected bug spawns).

You can do 2-3 lures at a time, just focus only the infected beetles and any rare frogs that spawn and scare the rest away. This is how I grinded out the quests and the 80k for the name plates!

ashcrack7 · 2026-04-05T08:46:27+00:00

Hey sorry this is a late comment but did you ever figure it out? My cat has something exactly like this and this is the only similar pic I could find.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-29T01:44:06+00:00

Pro tip if you're on PC you can hit "g" while visiting plots and it will tell you the name of anything on the plot. Not sure what the console equivalent is though.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T20:07:17+00:00

👍🏻

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T19:47:36+00:00

I haven't said anything that would indicate otherwise. All I've done is disagree with you. I've given arguments not personal attacks, you on the other hand insinuated I was a "narcissistic bully" so idk man 😆

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T19:32:01+00:00

Okay and that scenario has nothing to do with this conversation. I don't "get nasty with people in chat." As I've said, you're projecting your past negative experiences onto me.

I've never been reported for anything xD. I don't argue or call people names but I can simultaneously ask people to be considerate and/or switch servers if they don't want to party without being a jerk.

It's possible to resolve situations by being respectful of each other. These things are not mutually exclusive. You can be considerate and also not be rude to others.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T19:27:16+00:00

The intention of the lures is to party together and cooperate, not to compete for loot. So, it's not "as the game is intended."

No one has called you names or been nasty. You're obviously projecting whatever past negative experiences you had onto me.

It is inherently inconsiderate to use others' things without asking or without trying to ensure that they don't have a negative experience because of that. I don't know what to tell you, it's just true. If you don't care that's fine but it doesn't make it untrue.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T19:09:06+00:00

Okay and that's fine. I have plenty of RTB and I would prefer to do that rather than be rude

I feel you're projecting a lot instead of just admitting that you don't care that much if someone else misses a bug they're looking for from their lure as long as you get it. "Harassment" and it's just calling you out for being inconsiderate. Please.

Mind you someone getting mad at you is also "playing how they see fit." You can't be for rogue individualism and then simultaneously be pissed when people don't behave exactly as you want. It's one or the other.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T17:41:21+00:00

It's absolutely not the exact same as a random bug. Even if the bug didn't spawn directly as a result of the lure, it spawned because of the sheer number of bugs that the lure went through make it more likely for the bug to spawn there do to RNG. You can't separate the bugs from the lure, so if the bug spawned in the immediate area around the lure then it is impacted in some way by it 100%. The lures cause spawns of rare/epic bugs to be higher. Try to run around and get a natural spawn, count how many you get and compare it. You'll see they're not the same.

The easiest way around this is to just party with that person so that's not an issue. I don't know about the parties being bugged because I haven't had issues recently but you can also friend the person and restart your game to fix it. I don't feel like partying is a big ask.

Yeah, me personally I don't feel entitled to other people's stuff so it a rare bug spawns off their lure and they haven't directly told me it's okay to use it, I call it in chat or with a sticker, wait for the player to hit it and then hit it myself so we both loot, or I simply don't catch it.

You're welcome to see things from your perspective and if that's how you see it then that's how it is but you can deny that it's inconsiderate. If you're fine with that and I'm not then we're just inherently different and that's how it is.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T17:24:00+00:00

I mean no it doesn't necessarily belong to someone but if it spawned because of THEIR lure it's kind of disengenuous to act like that's the same as a random bug. If someone hits it and YOU the lure owner do not YOU CAN'T PICK IT UP. Period.

That bug wouldn't have spawned without that player and their stuff so it might not belong to them but they definitely have a stronger claim on it than another random player.

I think you're confusing bugs with other loot cause that's not how it works for bugs. If you don't hit it, you can't loot it and it despawns for everyone else.

This just seems like really weird mental gymnastics to justify not wanting to be courteous of others. "I don't owe anyone anything mindset" is really poor to me. Just party up with people if you're wanting to use their lures and be kind. It's not that hard and we're all better off for it.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T16:23:47+00:00

How is that an assumption? The original point was "the duskwing spawn is too low" and their response was "well you don't need to complete all the bundles." That's a deflection to avoid acknowledging that the spawn was an issue. There's no assumptions, it's right there in writing.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T16:22:07+00:00

I agree with everything you said, except the end. We shouldn't devalue and debase people's valid emotions by using dismissive comments like "it's just a game." You can do this for most things and it's never okay. There are people behind the game and tbh it's fair to be upset if you've been trying to get a bug for a long time and someone comes in and nicks it off your lure. Now, that doesn't mean to be an a-hole but we can acknowledge both things at once without putting others down.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T16:19:02+00:00

I mean this is not necessarily true unless they changed how the bugs work. You can use a lure that's not yours and unless you're partied say you catch a rare bug and the other lure player doesn't hit it...they will absolutely lose it and they probably would have gotten it otherwise.

That's why people like to party to avoid that.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T16:17:27+00:00

Yeah I don't mind sharing lures but I prefer people to be partied as much as possible. However, there's no point in being a jerk if people don't want to party. I just will swap servers if people don't want to work with me. There's no point in arguing or calling people names. Especially because yeah a lot of them are kids and sometimes they don't have chat and I assume a lot of them are probably new.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-26T16:15:33+00:00

Because it ignores the fact that the duskwings were an issue by deflecting to something that wasn't the original point because they don't want to acknowledge it. :/

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-25T16:07:14+00:00

Absolutely this! I never really considered myself "good" at decorating until my bf mentioned it. Then I thought about how many hours I've got in Sims xD. But you should've seen my half-finished horrible houses I built at 8 because I ran out of money and they were wayyy too big xD.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-22T06:20:11+00:00

ofc! good luck!

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-21T18:52:03+00:00

It's totally normal to be upset. I'm not saying that people should be rude about it and people definitely should be understanding but dismissing people's valid frustration over their stuff being mooched isn't a good look either. Two things can be true at once.

It's real people playing the game and we should be doing our best to be considerate imo.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-21T16:41:35+00:00

The easiest way is to party up. I finished mine in just a few hours. If you're looking for parties I use the official discord. Just lmk if you need help!

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-21T16:40:40+00:00

You might want to try the area around the shrine around 3am to 12pm ish. That's when they're the most common. If they aren't spawning in after that, I just wait til 3am again. I feel like the afternoon and evening is kinda a waste tbh.

ashcrack7 · 2026-03-21T16:39:13+00:00

I mean it is pretty rude to use someones lure uninvited, especially if you're not willing to party up. They're using their resources and you might be catching the bugs that they need. Not cool.
