Got a bug friend for you from Rhode Island! I dont think he's native cuz I've been here my whole life and never seen one but who knows!

I assure you there are thousands of bugs you have never seen that are native! This fella is a reddish brown stag beetle, Lucanus capreolus, and it is indeed native.

@silentlycrazy mentioned you on a post

@friedesgreatscythe .....have you played fallout??? Like at all??

i sure have. it definitely has a message of war being the most destructive part of human nature, and thus we as a society need to move past it

buuuuuuuuut it’s also an incredibly violent game, and ergo, not for kids. which is what this lady was looking for. snarky lookin ass.

Some kid blocked me because I told them that buying/selling specimen jars of preserved baby sharks was pretty common. They told me I was an idiot and needed to see a therapist. Tumblr is cancer.

Dumbass blocked me and also replied so I can't god damn read what they said or respond. God damn. Condescending and elitist as hell in their speech. How much of an ignorant ass can you be.

It’s based on Brazilian LGBTQ culture and many Brazilian queer people have spoken out about it being a very good representation of their culture. So….just a thought

I don’t want Brazilian people to call me queer anymore than I do American people.

After top surgery

Me: yeah I have pretty bad scars

Guy: I like scars, they tell your story.

Me: yeah well these scars tell the story of how I was so uncomfortable in my own body I needed surgery, I don’t like being reminded of that

Guy: I think scars are sexy, let me see them ;)

Hey there I'm writing in again to ask if I may have found the spider to match the molt??

I couldn't get a clear pic of the living guy but he was a bit bigger than the molt and seemed relatively similar in color and size.

I don't think so! I'm pretty confident in my original assessment that the molt is from a Mediterranean recluse as they leave their exoskeletons flat like in your first photo. The second fella here is a long-bodied cellar spider.

So a bug landed on my bed earlier and I scooped it up and sent it on its way back outside. I thought it might be a stinkbug and was curious so I googled and....I was right, it was a stinkbug and it's also invasive af in my area. I feel really bad about letting it outside now but also since following this blog I've been reluctant to kill bugs. What is the proper thing to do in this situation? (Also Bing kept trying to tell me it was a bed bug the size of my thumbnail and that was a horrifying thought I had to share)

It of course depends largely on exact location and exact species.

Most areas have a wildlife or agricultural department with a website that will tell you which invasive species in the area are reportable (usually via an online form) and/or if you should destroy them when found. A good example of this is the spotted lanternfly.

In general, I would say unless you can 100% identify it yourself, just leave it alone or put it outside. Lots of people misidentify common native bugs for harmful or invasive ones.

Also, a lot of times even though it's non-native or invasive, it's already so established that killing one won't make a difference either way.

So...a lot of factors, I'm afraid, and I can't give you a straight forward answer!
