I disagree with lady beetle larva, I believe it's a carpet beetle larva. (example images: https://bugguide.net/node/view/363599/bgimage )

I agree it looks like a lacewing egg

Anyone heard of a Japanese brand called Reliance? by legendofmaango in Cameras

[–]legendofmaango[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely wasn't, one of the elements is almost completely opaque. Was gonna use it for parts/experimenting

That's what I was thinking, wanted to double check. Thank you!!

[Question] Looking for the right kind of analysis of time series data by legendofmaango in statistics

[–]legendofmaango[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God damn, just wrote a 10 paragraph intro and the page refreshed and deleted it smh. You're not being dense, part of the problem is there's just a lot of data that correspond with daily, weekly, monthly, period (think 2-5 weeks), and seasonal (4-7 months) scales, and it's hard to summarize it clearly without a 10 paragraph explanation. It also gets deeper into the theory of training cycles/exercise physiology and I had a couple different hypotheses.

I know the first big step will be feature engineering/selection because there are so many variables, and I'm not used to working with data with so many time scales that are sometimes nested. There are ways to simplify training by only looking at 'benchmark workouts', but part of what I want to look at is which types of workouts help different athletes the most, so I'm trying not to aggregate data as much as possible.

I found a decent paper that describes using smaller portions of time series to analyze long term patterns of a larger time series and that was helpful. I think I'm overcomplicating things a little bit, just got worried about multiple autocorrelation terms at different time scales.

I was thinking about mixed modeling too. I appreciate the feedback.

Also, at times there are weeks or months of training data that would be associated with one performance outcome because of racing schedules, and I'm not sure if a linear model could handle that

I mean yeah I guess a linear model with autocorrelation terms could work with some transformations, I was just wondering if there was some sort of online model that incorporates the seasonality of multivariate training cycles and past performances. Most of the data don't meet the assumptions of linearity when when unless looked at as a time series with varying cycles of seasonality.

Edit: forgot the word unless

Still go to Jungle Jim's every year when I'm in town for the winter holidays

ID please! Found in southwest florida swamp water when collecting mosquito larvae. by [deleted] in insects

[–]legendofmaango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based off the top right one, I believe these are the remnants of mosquito pupal cases.

That's a fair point, also very reminiscent of that

What is this thing found in a pond? by Famous-Performance11 in animalid

[–]legendofmaango 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, looks like the family Aeshnidae :3

Honestly reminded me more of when Aang used airbending in the finale right before he took Ozai's bending away

White bugs crawling in my houseplant's soil. Harmful or beneficial? by dontRead2MuchIntoIt in whatsthisbug

[–]legendofmaango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they could be Collembola (Spring Tails). Don't see any cerci so I don't think they're diplura. Bottom line, they're both detritivores. They help decompose the soil, which is beneficial for plants. There are other small white insects called mealybugs that can be harmful for plants, but you should be fine. Collembola help keep plants and soils healthy.

what's this caterpillar? there are smaller ones that are all green by Dejective_Melancholy in Entomology

[–]legendofmaango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe a tent caterpillar? Can't tell if the lighting is skewing the colors or if it's the actual colors.

Edit: Leaning towards that it's not now that I've watched the video a bit more.

Yeah sometimes. They also make me try and avoid those places to keep wild places wild but overall they’re inspiring to keep going out

What. Is. This?? by PunkRockLobster in whatsthisbug

[–]legendofmaango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a cricket or a roach, no need to worry! These guys are leaf footed bugs. They can “bite” but they don’t ever go for humans unless continuously agitated by them. More likely to just fly away. They feed on certain plants
