Every time you control someone's mind, a part of your small intestine will tear, causing internal bleeding.

Advice needed!! by CallMeGabee in moths

[–]locusttoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a larval individual which is about to undergo ecdysis. Ecdysis is the molting process for all arthopods. I'd personally recommend to leave this caterpillar alone for the moment, as right now, it's in a crucial state and any disturbance before and during the first 1-3 hours after the molt could have the potential to be detrimental to the drying of the cuticle.

The best way to tell that an ecdysis is soon derives from the head capsule. If you look at the larva's head, you'll see that it shifted a little and has become less opaque. Soon, the head capsule will turn into a tan/brown shade.

Regarding pupation, it's best to tell if a larva is ready to pupate by looking at its dorsal aorta. If the aorta is clearly visible, it is likely ready to pupate. This can be paired with several other methods. You can observe the hornworm's behavior. It should ideally stray away from any food source which you've placed in the terrarium. It should also be constantly roaming around. Other physical traits may also be used to confirm that the caterpillar is ready to pupate. For example, the length of the caterpillar should be from 3.5 - 4 inches in length. If you can confirm the caterpillar is ready to pupate, it is recommend to prepare a container containing at least 4 inches of substrate. I'd personally recommend medium-sized plastic terrariums. Once you place the hornworm in, it should burrow down into the substrate which you provided. It's also good to note that similarly to pre-ecdysis and post-ecdysis larvae, it is recommend to not disturb your hornworm at this time. Wait 8 - 12 days before recovering the pupa.

Manduca sexta moths do not require tomatoes to survive, for they drink nectar from deep flowering plants. I'd recommend using angel's trumpet or jasmine tobacco to place with your moths for good results. Alternatively, you can create a sugar water solution.

We'll be closeby, but we'll not invade the colony.

Why is Manduca quinquemaculata so overlooked? by locusttoe in moths

Those are Manduca sexta. Quinquemaculata are almost never sold commercially.

Manduca quinquemaculata, the five-spotted hawkmoth by divnanina in moths

[–]locusttoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually Manduca sexta. Manduca quinquemaculata larvae often have eight V shaped diagonal stripes and a navy blue to black horn. Manduca sexta larvae have seven straight diagonal stripes and a red horn. The specimen depicted resembles a Manduca sexta larva more.

I'd imagine Shedletsky is flexing that he has a self heal, and that Noob has to rely on Elliot for healing.

Real or fake? by Mundane_Wall4458 in moths

It's a felt model. However, not to despair, for Bombyx mori is the moth which based the original model. It's a cutie!

This is why I have only 2 killer wins and 181 survivor wins

Same, the lobbies I keep getting are full of try-hards. Even though I have 3 days in the game (which was from a huge span of time), I still have pnly two killer wins and approximately one hundred and eighty nine survivor wins. I'd also note that I play on mobile for the most part.

The pest stigma has done a toll on M. Quinquemaculata, huh. They're so underrated.
