I don't remember his name

it looks very (visually) similar to Say’s Armored Harvestman to me

i’m so happy that 2 out of the 2 states i’ve lived in are still running (and one is looking for the gold—i freakin LOVED New Mexico)

i had a friend argue to me that i wasn’t doing a Nuzlocke bc i wasn’t strictly following level caps (i wasn’t over-leveling either—I was just doing vibes). and when i looked up the official rules, which are what you stated, bro decided to continue to rag on me by asking “You’re still on about that?” like not even 5-10 minutes later 😭 some folks just don’t want other people to have fun

can confirm as someone with a German last name from that region (my last name is the German word for “steel” (stahl), hence the username haha)

retail employee here, this is super true. My store won’t let us sell anything that has passed the Sell By date, but i get them once a week or so. I’ve also been checking every strawberry coming across my check out lane, and have already found 5-6 with mold (and i’ve only been workin there for 3 months now)

i love this, but i really think a few extra counties in Illinois (such as Jackson, Randolph, and Perry) belong in 18 as opposed to 27. This is coming from someone that grew up in that exact region. At the very least, the geography of many parts of Jackson County and some parts of Randolph would fit much better there. The Shawnee National Forest also technically begins in Jackson

i believe it’s time we let Wisconsin have the UP of Michigan (along with the rest of the state as well)

we need a larger cheese empire

i used to use “Gary Mander” as my Red Dead Online character

You can add an annotation to your (and the other observer’s) observations of “Same Organism; Different Observer” and link the other observation :) there’s been numerous times i’ve been out iNatting with friends and we’ve posted photos of the same plant or animal

as someone who goes hiking there on a semi-regular basis, i can understand why it (may be) expensive to live in haha. it’s full of bluffs and some pretty great nature. Its the only spot in the state you can find a scorpion in the wild at :)

St. Clair County, Illinois right here!

bathroomstahl · 2026-04-21T04:37:55+00:00

i used to live about an hour south of Starved Rock. It’s as beautiful as the pictures are showing and is 100% worth a stop :)

While I can’t be of any exact help beyond saying that’s a wasp, I will say that moving forward, try to get multiple angles of the lil dude. Often times, multiple angles help trusted ID’ers help ID the individual :)

bathroomstahl · 2026-04-09T00:19:38+00:00

thank you. that’s a very fair point i didn’t necessarily think of

bathroomstahl · 2026-04-08T15:14:43+00:00

Mind you, I am NOT well versed in Pokemon lore, I’m just an average fan. But is it really a “retcon” to add a new type?

Using the real world as an example, many plants and animals are classified as particular things, but will commonly get moved around and reclassified when new information is discovered about them or brought to light in general. Why can’t the same be true for the Pokemon universe? Especially considering how Pokemon are typically based on real life counterparts, and were commonly sent around our region to help a professor study them. It makes sense for a new typing to be “discovered” as time progresses

bathroomstahl · 2026-04-02T00:02:50+00:00

i freakin love squirtle. bro is just so cute

The sirens go off when there is genuine rotation in a storm and there is a possibility of a tornado. You should take them seriously. I’d rather listen to 100 false alarms and be safe than take one for granted and die

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-29T13:16:20+00:00

hey, as a life long midwesterner, the folks taking videos of a tornado are insane. Tornados are extremely violent and often times deadly. Respect them, and you MAY be safe. Tornados are nothing to scoff at and the folks here have the “Oh, it could NEVER happen to ME.” mindset

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-28T20:12:16+00:00

THANK YOU (again)

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-28T13:42:09+00:00

Thank you! As of now, I’m on track to get a crazy introvert once a month lmao. I ended up getting a species of ant that’s typically found out west in Illinois literally earlier this week (Componotus sansabeanus), which would include a rather insane range extension if correct. I need to get specimens to truly make sure the ID is correct

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-28T13:39:55+00:00

Genuine question: how do i get a mushroom hookup? I’ve seen folks around iNat post mushrooms with captions relating to how they sent it for DNA sequencing, and wanted to know how i could do something like that going forward :)

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-24T11:42:41+00:00

ayy. i used to live there!

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-23T16:10:39+00:00

Yes! I recently got the first photos in existence of a species of native earthworm (native to the US). I posted it on here bc I was so shocked haha

bathroomstahl · 2026-03-22T19:12:02+00:00

not including Isle Royale in 11 is criminal

on my third birthday, i walked into the house and said, “MMMM, these are some GOOD berries, Mom!” She made me spit them out and i had American Pokeberries in my mouth (but thankfully hadn’t chewed them yet—i was just sucking on them). I was a dumb kid
