Dice identification - "bargain bin" D-12

Edit: FOUND! Somehow it was a Chessex Borealis Clear?!

-

Hi! I'm trying to track down the full set of a die I found in a bargain/bulk bin at Millenium Games up in Rochester, NY. I asked someone at the store if they could point me at a similar or the same die set but they weren't able to find any; this one has surface cracking that is almost impossible to see without scrutinizing it very closely.

It's a plastic clear transparent/translucent die with glitter and black-painted numbering. The glitter is transparent when it's not catching the light, and in the light, it has what looks like three colors - a yellow, a green, and a blue - but there might be a bit of orange and purple mixed in as well. The effect is not dissimilar to a dichroic die, particularly while rolling.

It is definitely not foil/a clear film added into the resin.

More pictures can be happily provided on request - I'm not sure exactly what you guys would need to be able to peg this one.

If you've seen other resin dice that look like this (sleeper/invisible glitter and a rainbow effect) I'd love recs, even if it's not this exact set! I definitely do not have the budget for a dichroic set but I love the look and would like something a little more attainable with a similar 'vibe'.

HELP - mealybugs in my iso tank :(

Just like the title says, I recently got struck with a mealybug infestation.

I keep my stock of isopods mostly so that I can top up my pet lizard's tank if anything happens to the isopods in the soil (but they're also just there for me to enjoy because they are so cute). I'm moving in a couple months, so having them during the adjustment period in the new apartment was going to be a godsend, I thought. Just in case, you know?

Trouble is, I had some plants growing in with my isos just to make it easier for me to tell when I needed to water the damp side and they got mealybugs.

I ripped out the plants, but mealybug eggs can survive in the soil. I don't think there's any way to transfer the isos without also transferring mealybugs.

I'm looking for a way to treat the mealybug infestation without hurting my isos. Please let me know if you know of any ways to do this.

If it's not possible, I'd also appreciate advice on how to proceed in the most ethical way 😞 I'm super bummed.
