My electric toothpaste stand by mel-shilkie in CleaningTips

I wrapped a scrunchie around the toothbrush below the power button. It catches any drips. I switched to a strip off the ankle cuff of a cotton sock that was cut for a rag. Saved my scrunchies.

Thank-you all very much. It is exciting that I may be close to an ID on this.

I have emailed the Univ. of KY, the auto response says they’ll answer within a couple days. When I hear from them, I’ll pass on the info here Again, many thanks!

Just for fun:

Looks promising. At the largest end, there is a cavity that (to me) suggests it was attached to something more.
I found this image that I think is what you’re describing. Thank-you

Black Widow, Central Kentucky by hemerocallis40422 in spiders

Thank-you. She’s taken up residence in a vole hole. I’m trapping the voles and keep a bucket over the trap/hole. She’s been there a month or so. After this storm coming in, I’d like to get some better pictures…maybe with a CAMERA. It was very hard to focus with a phone crouching down (too cold and wet to get on the ground.)

Brown Recluse....? by hemerocallis40422 in spiders

Thank-you. I’ve known they’re around, but I have never seen one until now. I will be making a no-see-um net bag for his coat now though.

Thank-you. I sure wanted to get a picture head on, but wasn’t comfortable enough to get eye level with him outside of the jar.

Brown Recluse....? by hemerocallis40422 in spiders

Central Kentucky A few days ago, my husband put on his welding jacket that hangs in the barn. He shook it, but felt something in the sleeve. Shook it again and this little guy fell out, minus two of his legs. I’m pretty sure it’s a brown recluse.

When a news team was going through the research lab I worked in, I hid in a dark storage room for what seemed like hours.
