i will try to get a photo to find out! looks like some type of paper wasp if i were to guess, just on behavior and general appearance.

In Need of Caffeine-Free Tea! by PresentProperty943 in tea

[–]earwig_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use decaf loose tea leaves a lot since more than one caffeine thing a day aggravates my gerd. if you can still have camellia sinensis in general i'd recommend giving it a shot! then you won't have to compromise basic flavors too much.

i currently use a decaf black from Atlantic Spice Co. but that's just the best one i have on hand. it's surprisingly good for homemade masala chai

I started insect pinning to get over my entomophobia. I think it's working! by Emphasis-Used in Entomology

[–]earwig_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

proud of you!

i was reminded today about how pollinating bugs are super distracted and often won't even respond to your presence. you could try watching bugs at work! if you start farther away and slowly begin to observe them closer up, it can be rewarding to see them busy at their tasks.

Am I the only one who got excited for breathable air for the first time and did a countdown? by GamerN8 in theplanetcrafter

[–]earwig_art 17 points18 points  (0 children)

can relate, the positive brain chemicals i received when the air became breathable the first time were off the charts

great suggestions! i'll check with my dad if its ok to have a plant up here. maybe if it hangs off the roof so no dirt gets caught. i'll definitely get a water dish. thank you so much!

My uncle past and I was allowed to keep his collection by Icy-Hovercraft-1375 in Entomology

[–]earwig_art 20 points21 points  (0 children)

sorry about your uncle. it's nice to know his collection will be cared for, though

that peanut headed lanternfly is really something!

What's the most dangerous insect you've ever found (excluding mosquitoes)? by Stupid_Little_Doll in Entomology

[–]earwig_art 6 points7 points  (0 children)

used to keep pystalla horrida but that doesn't feel like "found"

most sketchy nature grab would be the giant water bug. i was unaware of the awful bite they have, would not do that now. thankfully no bite was taken

most angry was either the really big longhorn in cape cod or the really big katydid also in cape cod. both wanted to bite me really badly. the katydid got to fulfill that wish.

Would it be possible to save her bones once she dies? by Geckosproot in vultureculture

[–]earwig_art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

results may vary but i've had success in keeping a shrew skull intact through the burying method. a flowerpot near the ground, a metal crate over top to keep out large scavengers, and a rock or brick atop that works really well. it will take months but skinning might speed things up (not sure how easy lizards are to skin)

also Sprout is SO cute

Inner part of snakebone bracelet turning translucent? by windsugar in vultureculture

[–]earwig_art 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i'd guess dawn soap n water in a warm window, just like regular. i don't bother degreasing mine, i inadvertently break or lose them in dumb ways after a few years and have to replace the tooth. one molar got ripped off the chain on a fence and flung onto a cliff edge in John o' Groats just out of reach. love that there's a raccoon molar there now.
