What do I do about the insects?

I just bought one and I am still learning, so please forgive me. My plant keeps catching insects, but usually drops them after a couple of days… minus the spider that was in one for 1-2 weeks (mouth closed) before the head started dying… I think these were caught overnight, but they are just sitting there with the trap mouth open. My plant gets plenty of sunshine (when it’s not raining) and plenty of rainwater, but it’s slowly turning brown. I feel like I’m going something wrong because my plant seems so different than everyone else’s. Open to all advice and also in regards to the dead insects sitting in the mouths

Can’t tell if it’s bedbugs/fleas/mites😢

I woke up this morning with unbearably itchy ankles. Over the next hour or so, I feel like I got more bites despite not seeing anything under the covers. I thought they were make mosquito bites from walking outside in crocs two days ago, but back in 2020, I had this same exact problem, but worse. One day I woke up with bites on my ankles and feet, and it got worse from there. For months I suffered with unbearable itchiness, and no one could find out what it was. I’m worried this is the start of that again.

Back then, I was the only person in the house (of five) to get bitten. We had an exterminator come and check out the bed too, but they didn’t find anything (we also do quarterly sprays throughout the house). My cats have been taking revolution plus monthly for years now as well, nor have we seen anything on them. I don’t want to suffer again. I wash my sheets 1-2 times a week as well.

If anyone can identify or give advice on how to go about this, I’d greatly appreciate it. Last time this happened, my feet were constantly irritated and bloody. I’m on two different antihistamines I take daily as well, so they don’t really help with insect bite itchiness

What am I doing wrong when I bind off?!

I’ve tried to make a number of tops, or even just straight panels, but all of them are useless because no one can put them on!!! Or when they get it on, one everywhere except for the binded hem is loose. I’ve tried at least five different bind off methods to retain stretch. None of them work. I can’t do it. I try to watch tutorials of people making different garments, but my yarn isn’t yarning the way their yarns are. I can’t keep adding width because i mentioned earlier that the body is already so loose.

I am also skinny. There isn’t much to get around other than shoulders or butt, depending on the method of choice for putting the tops on. I’ve tried binding off with EXTREMELY LOOSE TENSION and also crocheted with huge hooks. I feel hopeless. I just want straight tops, no ribbed hem, like I see everyone else doing. If anyone has any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it please

How to know if an account is at risk

My business account got banned because “Based on the information we have today, this account was linked to another PayPal account with unresolved issues.” This seems so unfair and I’ve tried to appeal, but they’re adamant on the decision. Moving on to the future, how am I supposed to know whose account puts me at risk when doing business?! Is there a way to ask for proof that their account is not at risk for anything before a transaction? It’s going to be tedious asking for proof, but I got screwed over badly having to refund others and try to figure out alternative forms of secure payment. I don’t even know who put me on this position

I boiled two eggs together. The other one came out normal white egg, golden colored yolk, not overcooked. This one looks overcooked and has such a strange color and marbling inside? No clue what happened. Is it a bad egg?
