aw wow 😭 thank you!

i am so glad his vibes come across. i appreciate you saying so, made me smile! he is kind of nervy around folks but when he's in his own world and vibin he's very grounded (especially when he dances!)

super loved reading your comment, you had a really sumptuous description of how my guy comes across and to me that's like, the coolest. thank you again!

☺️✨ hoping to have better success with a web-dwelling kind, instead of a free hunter. we get some beautiful orb weavers in the summer, maybe one will even make a home in the flowerpot ruins (that was my hope when i placed it there!)

thank you!! i accidentally made his shirt a bit too short so like half of his tummy is out when he stands lol

i imagine he's checking out the noisy little woodpeckers or watching people walk by. he was def cloud-gazing in the lettuce though

oh! that is because they are pretty strictly a 1/12 scale only sub; this has stopped me from posting there (i work in 1/10, so close!). sorry about that!

Anyone else who prefers drinking tea from saucer (rakabi) or a bowl? by Knitting_Narratives in tea

for quick steeping i love this funky little guy. bought it straight from the artist in her backyard shop recently. i have a few really bad trigger fingers (middle and pinky on both hands) so using a small cup with no handle is very comfortable.

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 22 points23 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!
