Why do people still come here to identify spiders? Of course it's a brown recluse. It's always a brown recluse. If you have to ask, its a brown recluse.

How the absolute unholy fuck do you expect anyone to tell you what that fucking thing is with your grainy ass picture taken with your 1999 cereal box contest ass camera?

But no, it's not a recluse. Body shape's wrong.

Looks like a huntsman. They hunt in packs. It was nice knowing ya m8

I can't help but love them even if they are an invasive species, especially after raising an abandoned hatchling. It would be cool to open some kind of rescue since wildlife centers won't take them. Pigeons and starlings already have dedicated rescues for that reason. Maybe keep them in a big aviary of some sort and adopt them out to good homes. Is there a way to keep them from breeding like how pigeon-keepers use dummy eggs?

It would also be cool to somehow transport all of them back to the old world as their numbers are sharply declining there. Though the root of their decline would have to be addressed first.

They would benefit from it, yes. Meat and plants provide some of the same benefits. Really depends on the herbivore for how much it would benefit. Their symptoms would not improve much as you might think but it may tide them over just a bit.

How long they could survive on only meat, I have no idea.

my rabbit basically just eats dog food and books

there's no such thing as a "pure herbivore."

>eating bugs
I eat chickens that eat bugs. Am I thereby eating bugs by proxy?

Because with the threat of overpopulation booming ever closer, some people want to create more sustainable/varied farming in the form of insects, which would help alleviate food based shortages.

Nobody wants to humiliate anyone for no reason. Why would you even assume that?

>>2379547
>requires much less space
>emmits much less greenhouse gases
>much cheaper for small entrepreneurs
>more nutritious
>needs less food
Are you this much of bitch that you think eating insects will make you uncivilezed somehow?
If anything it is more civilized to be more efficient.

Got three orchid mantis today, and with my two thistle I'm taking care of five now. A little intimidated, and the orchid nymphs are suicidal and keep falling. Not sure what to do about it.

Cons: dog's lifespan. Half that if poorly bred.

absurd amount of shedding

>>2379845
They're kinda really prone to cancer but aside from that it's just standard dog downsides i.e. always hungry, lots of energy, shedding. They also love everyone so they make terrible guard dogs but unless you're a methhead living in a trailer park that shouldn't be relevant.

Just like any TV show it's overproduced and "injected" with artificial drama. But the fish are pretty cool

>>2379590
Really cool show, learned a lot about fish that way.

>>2379590
Pretty cool. I wouldn't say there's extra drama injected or that it's overproduced, though. Saw some sea monsters show, dear God wasn't it just a piece of shit. Really overproduced and with drama injected.
River Monsters manages to still be informative most of the time and to produce enjoyable landscape scenes. Maybe it changed in later seasons, I don't know. And y ou have a guy explaining what he's doing and why as he's doing it, it's always nice.
