Nepenthes BE-3748 stunning hybrid!

I believe my plant specifically has a more Robcantleyi like appearance, is this the case with all of these specific hybrids or are they all very varied in appearance and genetics?

Can you tell me anything about my new plant?

Hello, I'm a returning nepenthes grower and I have just purchased myself a Nepenthes robcantleyi x sibuyanensis x ventricosa. (BE 3748). I am interested in what sort of shape and sizes the pitchers might get to and how varied each plant is in its genetics. Thanks!

Any idea on what species this queen is?

I found this queen in the UK, I thought she looked like a Lasius nigra but her abdomen is far brighter than normal. Any ideas?

Looking for my first ant species

Hello, I'm a new ant keeper at university and I need an ant species that stays fairly small and discreet that I can keep in my university room without people seeing it much. Any idea on a good species? Thanks. I would also prefer if the species was native to the UK but I'm open to other foreign species.

Tics and dizziness

Hello everyone,

I have had consistent neck tics for over three years they haven't caused me problems until the last 12 months. They keep causing me to have a full feeling in the left ear after jerking my neck consistently to the left over the day which then causes me nausea and dizziness. Am I alone on this, anyone else get dizziness and nausea after tics that lasts a while after?

Thanks.
