if they stay out of my way I'll let them drop dead of natural causes

not like bottleflies who force me to drop whatever I'm doing to slaughter their annoying asses

Mosquitos are the only thing that deserve a genocide to be honest

What I always wonder is why some billionaire doesn't devote his time and fortune exterminating mosquitos. That'd definitely make the world a better place

That's the pneumostome, it's like a big nostril. Thanks for showing us though, buddy.

Here we have an explanation on the "hole"The pneumostome (or breathing pore) is a feature (the respiratory opening) of the external body anatomy of an air-breathing land slug or land snail. It is a part of the respiratory system of gastropods.
It is an opening in the right side of the mantle of a stylommatophoran snail or slug. Air enters through the pneumostome into the animal's single lung, the air-filled mantle cavity. Inside the mantle cavity the animal has a highly vascularized area of tissue that functions as a lung.
The pneumostome is often much easier to see in slugs than in snails, because of the absence of a shell which can often block the view of this area. In a land slug, when the pneumostome is wide open, it is usually very clearly visible on the right side of the animal. However, the position of the pneumostome is often not at all easy to discern when this orifice is completely closed.
The pneumostome opens and closes in a cyclical manner. The frequency of pneumostome closing and opening is typically less than 0.5 closures per minute in fully hydrated slugs and snails. The rate of closures per minute increases the more dehydrated the slug is.

have you ever seen a slug before, m8?

Thanks senpai, but no.
I hate these homegarden threads. Its too many different subjects crammed in one thread, and there is rarely a professional engaging in the talks.

At first I would be surprised and spooked then I'd be like whoa awesome. I'd probably take a picture and post it on Twitter so all of my followers could see the wild ass spider I encountered.

It would feel rude to Raid it, too messy to smush it, I would probably get a bigass plastic container and try to trap it in there and then release it outside.

What a shitty image

Aren't they venomous? I wouldn't risk it.

Buy some more mantids to make raising feeders viable. I think some people used dubia roaches.

Get lots of very small containers, and create an elaborate system of containers with tubes connecting them. Then, get lots of small colonies and place them in their own little section with the rest blocked off.

Allow the ants to establish themselves and do ant things for a while. Let's say there are 8 colonies. Then, connect each colony with another so they fight or merge together. Then connect the remaining 4 with each other etc. until there are only two colonies left. Then the one that wins will be the true ant champions.

Bonus points if you make a thread for people to suggest names for all of them, or have them represent countries like sports teams.

>tournament style elimination
That is fucking genius.

How large of a colony does each contender get and how long should I allow them to live separately doing their own ant thing?

Elephants that are poached for ivory are shot dead, anon.

>>2436288
No anon, you got it wrong, the ones who didn't have tusks (geneticallly) weren't killed. If u not ded fucc and have babies.

>>2436508
Same anon, so basically speaking, the poaching has become too fucking high that the gene pool is losing the tusk genes, and i may be saying shit, but i think in 50 ~ 100 years there wont be tusked elephants and they'll be smaller.

It's a plum, one of many older native species of plums that were popular before the advent of the purple plum that is now most common

A leaf would help, but the fruit shape, colour and the pit shape and size look like plum to me
