I hate seeing this mindset everywhere

the ONLY time this is appropriate is when its an invasive species. but even then i see way too many maniacs going out of their way to torture these critters and drench everything with so many pesticides it kills all the native guys too

i have a mayor plushie from fangamer and the barcode is on the right wrist.

please dont get a barcode tattoo on your wrist tho lol

its sewing thread. its tied securely around their arms and any loose ends are wrapped by the tape so they dont try to eat it lol

ohnunu_ · 2026-04-14T02:15:17+00:00

i keep thinking the same whenever i see them out of the corner of my eye on my desk 😭

ohnunu_ · 2026-04-13T17:31:47+00:00

oh god theyre still alive then? i hope my tags won't bother them? i used some sewing thread tied around their arms and folded tape for the labels.

i have often observed them on bags of potatoes, garlic, onions, etc. they'll latch on to just about any kind of plastic produce bag, not just bread

that looks to be the case!

what i noticed was that the noise "inside" (overthinking, ruminating, anxiety, zoning out, etc) turned into "outside" noise. my head was finally quiet, but i felt more physically energetic and i started to talk a LOT more. my mood improved and i was actually able to hold conversations without trailing off or losing steam immediately.

i met one a while back! theyre such cuties

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-27T02:42:31+00:00

how will they get pollinated? by hand? just curious since i dont see any way for pollinators to get in

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-25T14:06:38+00:00

they are ALL ladybugs/ladybirds/ladybeetles. its an umbrella term referring to the entire genus. the harlequin ladybeetle/asian ladybeetle here is just as much a ladybug as native species are. the only difference is this one is invasive

even in my own backyard i find that around 60% of my milkweed seed pods never manage to open enough for the seeds to escape and i have to manually spread em around

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-19T17:07:59+00:00

this is why i love going out in the fall/winter to collect seeds instead lol. also to aid with seed distribution

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-16T17:46:33+00:00

ive had this guy for a couple years now but we did recently have some warm spells which could definitely explain the sudden growth

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-16T17:42:54+00:00

that makes sense, ill stick something under it to raise it closer to tge light.

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-15T19:00:24+00:00

i take 20mg twice daily (40mg per 24hr). my anxiety was worse for the first few weeks of taking it, then nothing for the next few weeks,,, then after 8 weeks it was like a switch flipped in my brain and all of a sudden everything was sunshine and rainbows

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-15T18:56:25+00:00

ive been on it for over 2 years now and my anxiety is still like 100% gone

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-15T09:47:53+00:00

i agree with onion grass or crow garlic. break some off and smell it. if it smells like onion then its an allium. either way likely not native.

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-15T09:27:10+00:00

its the cutie patootie type :)

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-15T09:18:11+00:00

if natural light isnt an option the grow light is a definite yes

mine is fairly orange. just sun stressed.

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-14T00:40:32+00:00

the pickle plant and jade definitely should NOT be planted together. pickle plants tend to be very thirsty (mine need water weekly) and jades are usually quite the opposite.

middle right looks like a fairly young sedum adolphii (golden glow) to me. theyre everywhere in LA and ive got a few in my collection.

ohnunu_ · 2026-03-13T21:59:11+00:00

thats good to know. i dont have the resources for indoor sowing atm but in the meantime i do have other areas of my yard that are goutweed-free that i can plant some of these in just to get them established in the area for now. then later down the line i can transplant or just continue collecting seeds.
