probably get arrested for animal cruelty for an overly violent response. better to just start tasing it or something.

better off just feeding it antifreeze or something

why not just take it to the animal shelter in the next town over and claim it's an abandoned animal?

>What is it?
I am not sure if there's a right or wrong. Humans will always be part of nature.
Though can't say the predatory nature of our contemporary societies (is it innate to humans?) is such a good thing, especially for the long-term.

Life will most likely prevail if we fuck up our environment, but there's a much smaller limit to the survival of humans in a heavily degraded environment.

Shepherds.

Wardens.

They're probably just making room for the guy with the large dog, to avoid collisions or awkward "after you"s.

Same way those butt ugly girls will walk faster if they hear anything behind them while it's moderately late. My teen feelings were hurt, but it's just natural.

unless the price is stupid, yes, that's not very common to find in a nursery

How hard are they to care for and what is their lighting needs?

All I can find in the UK are people shipping seeds.

>What measures do I need to go to to keep one?

Thats going to depend entirely on the species you're talking about. S. Bandensis you're looking at a smaller tank, maybe around a 30 gallon minimum. S. Officinalis you're looking at 100 gallons per animal, and even then a group is likely to be out of your reach due to potential for cannibalism.

Either way you'll need mild lighting, very likely a chiller, water completely free of heavy metals or copper (you're probably looking at an RO system) and several layers of filtration (including a protein skimmer) to maintain the animals.

These are not beginner marine animals.

>>2274108
Can I just keep it in the fishtank (about 3 meters) ?

>>2273861
Just because they're cute doesn't mean you have to have one. It'd probably die in your tiny ass tank in a matter of weeks you sick fuck

If you want a dog not to bark why get a boxer then? Why not get a bullmastiff there very quiet and sleep most of the time.
Especially good if your at work.

That's a nice story, op. I found an orb weaver the other day too but instead of saving it I got a torch and burned it to death.
I don't tolerate home invaders.

Can you tell how wound up be is? This is the face of a bird who is about to be in trouble. (and the face I've seen before I got several of my favorite scars.)

Super duper easy, my dude. So first you wanna get your set up ready. You have a couple options depending on how much work you want to do. Your first option is to set up a system of boxes that fit into each other with the top box having the floor replace with screen so the eggs can fall down into the worm box but the beetles cannot. This is helpful because you don't have to keep moving your beetles to a new cage every time eggs start to hatch, but you still have to pull the pupae out by hand there's no getting around that otherwise they'll be eaten alive. You just put them in a container, they don't move much, and put them into the beetle container when they finish their transformation. The downside to that method is that it involves the most work to set up. If you want to learn how to make yourself a set up like that just look up meal worm farm on youtube and you'll be able to figure out what works best for you. I'm a lazy piece of shit so I use the other method which is just periodically sorting the different stages into separate boxes.

>>2275476
Either way you choose the basics are pretty much the same. You go to your mealie supplier and grab as many as you want but you should start with no less than 100 if you want to get going in any sort of timely manner. Then you place your worms into the substrate which is also their main food supply. There are lots of choices that work well but I personally just use smashed up cheerios. They will also need a moisture source but they can't just drink water so you have to provide some kind of produce they can munch on for their water supply. I usually use apple, or carrots. Eventually the worms will turn into pupae and you will need to put them in a separate container so they don't get eaten since they can't travel they only wiggle a little. Once the pupae transform into beetles they will need to go into your beetle container with the same set up as the worms. If you set up the system where the eggs fall back into the worm container then you just wait but if you are sorting them yourself then you will need to keep an eye on the beetle container because when there are teeny weeny worms your eggs have started hatching and the beetles need to be moved to a new container or they will eat the babies and you'll have to start over.
