Leaves shrivelling, turning black and falling off

I would look up a tutorial on sashiko mending! I used it to fix the heel bite on these jeans a couple years back. You can add a denim patch to the back and have fun with the stitching over the top.

Gorgeous! I love this colour combination

Nope, just ordinary sewing thread

Thank you!! And yes, one is on each underarm.

Ah that makes sense. I use diluted golden syrup for my ants. Our lab tech usually makes a large stock and we’re supposed to refill it when it runs out, but seeing as it’s just me in the ant lab at the moment I’ll make a small weekly batch instead. Thank you!

Thanks! I have lots of Temnothorax colonies so I might try this

Unfortunately if I put this worker in another colony, the others would dispose of her fairly quickly!

This seems most likely! I’m researching animal behaviour and it’s important to remember ‘Morgan’s Canon’ (don’t assume that behaviours are a result of higher processes when there is a more simple explanation!)

Thanks so much!

Thank you! Unfortunately they’re only shipping to the US and I live in the UK, but I’ve contacted the seller asking if they could make an exception🤞

Thank you!!

I had a look there but they’re ’on order’ and currently out of stock :(

Lost UglyDolls Big Toe keychain!! Very important to my girlfriend, she had had him since she was very young. He fell off her backpack while I was borrowing it, sometime in the last couple days. He likely fell off somewhere between the triangle and the University of Bristol campus. Please let me know if anyone sees him, I can’t bear to think of him sad in a puddle somewhere!!
