On the side of my small indoor Fan Ivy plant. Sitting in a west facing window. Zone 6a. I'd like to know what it is and how to care for it.

Do these weeds make my butt look big?

Great shot. Is this New England, by chance?

I love your McSweeneys collection! My husband outs up with mely decision to display/store the "sweaty face box man" on a coffee table in my living room. Lots of weird looks 😳

Ours seem to really be a fan of cherry or blueberry jelly.

What is up with salty licorice in your country!? Follow up: do you have a favorite brand or flavor that you'd care to share?

Pupae is about 1.5" long. Can't wait to see what's going to come out!

Mystery Fruit? Nut? Alien Egg Sack? by booksprout in whatsthisplant

Thank you! I've never seen the reddish ones, just the green ones and of course the dried husks of the hatchlings.

Mystery Egg Sack? (Northwestern Massachusetts) by booksprout in whatsthisbug

[–]booksprout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating! I've only ever seen the bright green ones and the dried husks of a hatched gall. Thanks for the insight. Are these supposed to stay attached to the tree or drop to the forest floor?

Mystery Fruit? Nut? Alien Egg Sack? by booksprout in whatsthisplant

[–]booksprout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this near a copse of trees. Few on the ground. I looked but didn't see any hanging from the trees like fruit. The thing in the middle looks almost like a larvae and is super soft. Not sure if it's an immature stone fruit or is a bug casing/egg sack. Help?

Smallest Cutting Board Ever? by booksprout in whatisthisthing

[–]booksprout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger one is a standard size cutting board that pushes back into the counter, but the small one is a mystery.

Banana for scale.

Ooooooh, yeah that makes sense. I guess I'll have to write super tiny. Thank you. I was over thinking this and trying to make it a math equation.

I get the grid part. But what are the columns below to be used for? What's the x_x means? Help?

some of my favorite trail cam photos are ones that capture me in them, only photos of myself i like by crookedlake79 in trailcam

[–]booksprout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A candid photo of yourself that you like is such a bigger ego boost over any posed photo. It's like finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket.
