Hello, this is my 7 month old Cassia seedling. I noticed the roots were poking out of the drainage holes in the pot and decided to repot to a larger pot. When i removed it I noticed this is the root situation. There’s a strange twisty bit where the stem meets the roots. I’m new to plant care and never seen this before. Will my plant be ok?
She’s also got a new roommate! A random bagworm was hiding on some of the food cuttings I just gathered for her.
I will likely return him to the wild soon, but I would love to observe him for a bit as I haven’t had much experience with bagworms. I made sure they both have plenty of food and space and that the bagworm has access to materials to build his shelter with.
Species is Cethosia penthesilea (Orange Lacewing)
Species is Clogmia albipunctata. It’s actually a kind of fly!
~25yo shetland pony with a missing eye.
She’s been in the family a long while now. She was bought for my sister years ago, being a frightened pony who had been abused by her previous owners.
It took a lot of patience and loving, but now she’s a completely new pony and is the sweetest girl in the world.
Was so nice to release her and see her fly off. Hoping to see her kids soon on some of my daisies!
Very unlikely to actually be the offspring of Ollie (my last Olene mendosa). Last pic shows her shed head and exuvia.
She was actually found hiding in with some small grass yellows at the butterfly house I work at, a stowaway on their food. I asked if I could take her home and they allowed me to :)
I loved raising and studying Ollie (even if he started life off with the intent to devour my tiny seedlings) and am so thrilled to get the opportunity to study and learn more about another Olene Mendosa!
I believe that she is a female, Olene mendosa are sexually dimorphic even in larval stage. The females have more tussocks on their back; Ollie Jr just moulted and developed an extra tussock than Ollie (male) had at her instar. Ollie was also slimmer than she seems to be.
this is disgusting!! the millipedes are minors!!!
Hello, No idea what happened but during an event i didn’t get all the eggs needed to complete Red Admiral. It’s the only one of the admiral series i need to complete the set, do half completed butterflies ever get reoffered during event rewards or will i have to cough up my flutterbucks?
She was actually one i raised :) She flew off before i could say goodbye but came back and landed on my shorts. (Then she crawled into my shorts to hide from the wind lol)
