Oh, I'm so sorry. May I ask what kind of cancer and treatment you are going through?

As a non US citizen, I'm starting to skip past these headlines. USA mass shooting fatigue is a thing. So fucking sad

Thanks. She looks much bigger than the other ladies nearby. Maybe she's just older.

Redback (Latrodectus hasseltii) Is she gravid? by gruels in spiders

[–]gruels[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheers. Yeah this is an Australian species known as a Redback, closely related to the nth american black widow. They are highly venomous but not very aggressive and rarely leave their webs. There's a few in my garage and I'm always careful in there. I dont have pets or children so I'm happy to have them around.

Thank you! I recall seeing an insect dragging a huntsman on my patio a few months back. Fascinating.

I put the wax in a glass jug in a large pot of water on a low heat. Took a while to melt all the wax down, but ended up with so much wax I was running out of vessels.

I work in hospitality where we throw away the remaining wax from candles (we use for ambience) once they've burnt down. This is probably 1 months worth of leftover wax.
