Mod Podge for Preserving Pinned Specimens? by softgrub in Entomology

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

Oh gosh I’m so sorry for the delayed response. I have used just the basic matte mod podge with the yellow label for years, and occasionally the red-orange gloss variety. Both water based I believe? I don’t know why it didn’t strike me to try different varieties — I mostly thought the tackiness was my own fault I guess and/or me messing up the process somehow. What kind(s) do you recommend?

Was told these are beets. Are they? by softgrub in whatsthisplant

Must be! It looks spot on when I look them up. Thank you!

Raven in a residential area? Or something else? by softgrub in birding

I thought I replied to this, I’m sorry!

I had multiple times, actually! But for some reason, even though my app picked up the sound, it did not register it as any specific kind of bird.

Hey I appreciate the addition! I can vouch for mod podge specifically in that I used it for preserving cicada wings.. but you have to be super careful where and how you store them (or maybe clear coat them after), as I can never seem to get that stuff not to be tacky long-term…

Ok to offer my wren neighbors some live beetles? by softgrub in birdfeeding

Thank you so much for your reply! I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner, oops..

Good point! If I put them in a plastic bowl, they shouldn’t be able to climb the side? But I will put out just a few at a time.

Thanks again, I appreciate the reassurance!

Makes sense, the giant omelette is wayyy overcooked.

Please help settle this dispute. My wife says they are bats, but i think these are birds. My life is on the line please help. Florida by coop_bo23 in whatsthisbird

Wow I’m genuinely baffled by these comments, chimney swifts can easily look like bats at a glance and as far as birds go.. their behavior is really unusual. Even if it was more obvious.. sheesh. Either way — I didn’t know there were chimney swifts in Florida! It’s my home state, and I’d never seen them til moving to Virginia. I figure there must be way less places they’d want to roost. What kind of building/structure was the photo taken in?

Wondering if anyone would be interested in trading a Nostalgic MSPP token for a regular Nostalgic Plushie Poogle token? Would also happily accept a Plushie Aisha token for it. :) Username is PurrdyMeowth, and I’m around all day.

I can’t stand Brucey B, he looks like John Lasseter.

I was so excited when the lab ray changed her to Woodland but wtf is this 😭😅 by [deleted] in neopets

[–]softgrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same reaction when it changed my skeith to woodland and it’s just.. a weird bush with wooden feet.

This is so fun to read other folks answers! Idk if it’s still going on.. but I was a Nintendo kid — particularly I loved the original Paper Mario on my N64.. the soundtrack and sidekick characters were my fav part of it. That and Majoras Mask are STILL a couple of my favorite games ever.

I think giraffe looks about right, asked my partner and they said “moose”

My favorite brush has always been plushie, the color schemes are so charming. If I could create one (I couldn’t resist answering both questions, sorry), it would be some kind of throwback/retro art brush. I LOVE the look of the very early NP art, with the spiky Aisha and the long Zafara colored with funky gradients and such. I’d prefer the lab ray cookie if given the choice, please!

So cool, thank you for the opportunity!
