kerbiloid Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Today I have read about these sweet cuties — green lacewings, or so. Adult lacewings eat only nectar and pollen. They are in abundance around and look so nice, so delicate. Spoiler (In my own words:) "Lacewing's larva eats 100-300 aphids per day. If there is not enough aphids, then eats larvae of ladybugs and lacewings, too. Once it is born, lacewing's larva starts crawling around, shaking with her head, until the jaws touch some prey. Then she immediately injects digestive enzyme into its body, which dissolves the prey from inside in 90 seconds. Then sucks the soup out and tears the corpse apart. To camouflage from the ants, who support and protect the aphids for bribes (btw dastardly, two-faced, corrupted sneaks — those ants), the lacewing larva cuts the fur from the aphids' backs and covers herself with the pieces of aphid fur, pieces of aphid skin, different wastes."

Kokoro Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Last night, this morning I had my first Twitch stream host from another streamer: https://www.twitch.tv/sisterloli I also finished paying the last of my major debts today..... but I have had my hours reduced in work recently so I don't have any more money. On the postive side, less hours in a job which I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1t1o Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes, it is much better to let them fight amongst themselves...we cant risk giving them a common enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed up a few days ago, and while I haven't seen one yet, it looks just like a tortoise burrow. They're common around here. Ground tortoises... harmless enough, and fun to watch. I'm going to go check it later today and see if there have been any changes. Edited November 1, 2017 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really no different from a 6x6, just more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fun to watch, unless its your garden they're munching on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter in a sea-climate is bassicly fall/autumn without the red and orange leaves, winter is just lifeless, no snow, no sun, no warmth, only grey. Thats why i like winter! Absolutely nothing to worry about! Edited November 4, 2017 by NSEP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
