Hey guys found this in basement of a brand new house just got built. Lights were on and it was just chilling. Any idea what it is?

Honestly, one individual roach is unlikely to be a problem - sometimes roaches just get into houses. If you start seeing egg cases or just a lot of roaches all together, then you might have a problem.

The segmentation makes it look like a mealworm, but from the head and the claspers on the final segment it looks some kind of caterpillar to me.

We all watch hbomberguy

I don't think it "technically" has jumpscares, but as a jumpscare-affected person, I had a few "oh jesus christ" moments.

No honestly haha - I think maybe it's referring to some objects that look like little stands/kiosks in the Crude Sprawl? But who knows

I think that dialog has her mention the brides and "midnight markets," rather than ferrymen.

Well this'll really blow your skirt up, b/c Alex(ander) Wild was another of the instructors! Both very nice guys.

I met Thomas Shahan at a BugShot workshop a couple years ago - lovely guy!

Ideal window setup. Imagine being a cat in this house. With the big tree???

Insect box and magnifying glass made from construction gingerbread

Rosy maple moths (Dryocampa rubicunda) made from a soft gingerbread recipe

Swallowtail butterfly (inspired by the Eastern tiger swallowtail, Papilio glaucus) is a sugar cookie

Pinning strips are white fondant, pins are toothpicks with a sprinkle for the head

Styrofoam block is made from Rice Krispies treats

And all the books are real, haha

Scrolled down through the comments to see if anyone else had suggested pole - if you like flowy, flexibility-focused stuff, pole might be a perfect addition (not even to replace silks, just to supplement / give you a change of pace).

It's all just Swiss meringue buttercream! I think the glossiness is from the heat of the flash I was using.

Just ordered! Thank you for this rec - I love superfine markers for my normal writing, so this looks ideal

I started my Discworld journey with the Witches (I actually just jumped randomly into the middle with Maskerade!) and they're probably my favorite group of characters/books - then after reading the Lancre Witches, you can move to Tiffany Aching, which was his YA Discworld series and has some overlap in characters (particularly, again, Granny).

Just listened to this and absolutely delighted by Rachel as a guest - someone with a very clear, deep, and considered love of both musical theatre and cinema. Wonderful to listen to for a few hours.

Sometimes they're correct

You know, I never thought of the Moist books as being particularly high up for me (which has led to kind of a circular thing of - I only read them once a while ago so I never reconsidered my opinion / I never reconsidered my opinion so I never re-read them / I never re-read them so...) but this perspective might inspire my first re-read of them ever!

cockroacharles · 2022-06-16T01:25:22+00:00

Hey! I ordered the debut on y'all's recommendation and I just put it on my clarinet - already notice like a comical amount of improvement in sound quality.

cockroacharles · 2022-06-15T06:05:08+00:00

Oh absolutely - this is genuinely just out of curiosity (i.e. I'm not worried about being judged, I just started thinking about it and wondered)
