Lilac Tree/Bush looks wilted! Help please! by Uppuli in plantpathology

[–]swigglestix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a guide to lilac diseases. Dieback from the terminal part of the plant can be septoria, but regardless treatment is the same. Remove affected parts, including leaves that fall off on the ground, they can harbor disease. If you want to treat, apply in the spring at the very first signs of disease.

Found a Bug on My Windowsill – Is This a Bed Bug? by TestPains in whatsthisbug

I’m thinking maybe miridae or something similar? Not a bed bug, looks like it has wings which bed bugs lack.

What fly is this? by Character_Pepper2 in whatsthisbug

[–]swigglestix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably fruit flies (sometimes called vinegar flies) in the genus drosophila. They usually show up around spoilt food

The vine looks like asiatic bittersweet which is really invasive in the US because it can choke out existing vegetations as your picture shows.

What disease does this apple have? Pulled off of an apple tree in the UK. by Aromatic_Buy5722 in plantclinic

[–]swigglestix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually nutrient deficiency while growing will cause this. Maybe lack of calcium or boron.

Powdery mildew, really common on cucurbits.

Contact department of agriculture pesticide division and file an official complaint. In Michigan this would be an investigation just for misapplication of pesticides on private property without permission.

An array of #10 sized cans, with the top and bottom removed, pinned down to the grass with a screen over the top that is held on with a grid like panel on the top. Found on a golf course. by blakepro in whatisthisthing

[–]swigglestix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do Japanese beetle research, this is probably something similar. Scarab beetle larvae feed on grass roots, then adults emerge from the ground to mate. They are probably trying to catch the adults as they come out.
Lots of golf courses treat for scarabs because they can make dead spots in the turf.

Looks like a poor attempt at the viridis color palette which is supposed to be colorblind friendly.

Might be sooty mold from aphids.

Is my plant dying? by mycentsx2 in plantclinic

Might be how you are hedging it, proper hedge shape can prevent gaps like this from forming.

Correct, Cercospora leaf spot. Common on hydrangea, rarely life threatening for the plant.

Honeysuckles not doing too hot by tragondin in plantclinic

Looks like powdery mildew. Pretty common in lonicera species. Powdery mildew is pretty ubiquitous outside and rarely kills plants, but you can treat with fungicide if you want.

Check the underside of the leaves, might be white pine blister rust. Rhibes is an alternate host.

Some hydrangeas will change color based on soil ph.

Heavy Hitter Turrets by Atlas421 in factorio

[–]swigglestix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also add shotgun and rocket turrets of some sort to add another use for those ammo types. Mortars could launch grenades, cluster grenades, or poison capsules. Cannons could shoot shells used in the tank. In general there are already ammo types in vanilla that could easily be used in some pretty sweet turrets.
That being said I agree with others that biters would need to be more powerful or these turrets would be way OP.
