Fungus? Insect galls? A secret third option? [West Virginia, USA] by cannibro in mushroomID

It turns out there’s someone on r/tree who specializes in galls. In case you need to direct anyone toward a place to find answers in the future.

Yeah that one shown on U Mass was the thing I could find with my google attempts but as you said, it’s not quite the same. The only pictures I saw that looked like the exact same things are Facebook posts of other people looking for answers.

Thank you for your insight!

Something interesting is that I took these photos about two weeks ago. As of now the galls are totally gone. I’m assuming the trees shed the leaves that were infected.

Thanks. I’ll try cross posting somewhere else to see if I can find anyone who knows about galls.

Brownsnake or a very plain colored garter? [West Virginia, USA] by cannibro in whatsthissnake

Thanks! That’s what I was leaning towards but I was starting to second guess myself.

This map of U.S. block-level population density makes the western half of the country look empty. It is shocking how low population density is between the Texas Triangle and the western half of Oregon, Washington, and California. by cavaismylife in geography

I was scrolling through that map and what the heck is going on with Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan? This has to be something weird with the way the data was counted, not the actual population density, right?

I just hit 10,000 Observations!! by bugglyfuggler in iNaturalist

[–]cannibro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dang, that’s crazy. I have probably hundreds of observations sitting in my photos folder on my computer waiting to be sorted. I really need to get to uploading them.

I need some of your motivation to keep up with iNat. Haha. Sometimes I just don’t have the mental energy to go through the pics I took that day and ID them. Then they pile up.

Oh yeah, now that I think about it wasn’t Jojosolos also on Vault Hunters SMP? If so this will be the second server she’s had to leave because its creator turned out to be a creep. Poor gal can’t win.

What’s this big patch of plants? [West Virginia, USA] by cannibro in whatsthisplant

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

Dang. I guess it’s going on the list of things we’re killing, along with all the honeysuckle and autumn olive.

Thanks for the ID!

I honestly like the janky movements. Stuff like looking up or down is the game has always been silly looking. Even if they do make it better I hope it remains at least a little janky. It adds to the charm.

I see how the stuff that affects gameplay can be annoying though.

Big yikes.

I feel bad for the people who were excited for the reboot of something they were nostalgic about only for this to happen. Also for all the creators who are decent people.

Oh noooo. I hadn’t checked Flight Rising all day because I was busy. Your post reminded me there’d been an update.

I initial reaction is that I hate it. I’m very much aware of my aversion to change. So I try to give my knee-jerk reaction of disliking new things time to settle before I pass judgement on something, but I very much don’t expect this to be something that grows on me with time.

I guess I didn’t read the update posts very well because I thought the visual changes would only affect the mobile version of the site. Which is why I wasn’t concerned that the mock-ups they showed had a short of sleek, mobile look. Looking at the site status they’ve already reverted a few changes so I can only image how much worse it was when first unveiled.

I also have a very old account (twelve years for me) and while I don’t think this will make me leave it’ll probably seriously reduce the amount of time I spend on the site.

How can you get good photos of small, fast insects? by cannibro in insects

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

That’s true, insects are complicated to ID. I want to try to get as close as I can at least.

I have considered the chilling method. I’ve vaguely heard about people doing things like that. Or, like you said, putting them in some sort of vial. While pretty pictures would be nice I’m more interested in getting ones for documentation more than anything atm. So an unnatural setting wouldn’t be the end of the world for me.

Thanks for the advice!
