How bad are red flour beetles
They're in my brand new substrate and a few drawers. 😭
They're in my brand new substrate and a few drawers. 😭
I've been farming mealworms for a bird rehab. It's getting amping up to peak season now - they need 180 grams a DAY and it'll only get worse as the summer goes on. On top of this, i found these tiny beetles in my worm bins. iNaturalist IDed them as hairy fungus beetles. If they are fungus beetles, they sound kind of helpful? But i don't know if that's what they are or if i should be worried. I can't scrap my bins and start over because there are a LOT of owlets and kites depending on my worms so if they ARE bad, what are they and how can i remove them without damaging the worms?
Please help!
Show me your cool blooms! I'll go first - prairie blazingstar, american basketflower (the dark variant native to my area, ironweed (just starting!), rattlesnake master, lemon beebalm, and the adorable yellow passionflower!
Leaves on my ping pirouette are opening more after i began watering more. Is this meaning it is coming out of dormancy?
I got a ping while we were raising our winter sowing plants indoors and it really FEASTED on those fungus gnats. What do I do now that our plants are outdoors? How can i keep this little trooper happy? Any resources or advice for a first time owner? It has little round black rocks for soil and the seller told me not to touch or repot it for a year.
