Makes sense, while he wasn't right by the water, he wasn't far away from a lake.

I didn't want to get too close to him though because hurr durr wolf spiders, although I'm sure I've never actually seen a wolf spider before

not being afraid of such things is a good indicator of general character. Also tailless whip scorpions on face scores extra points

At least as Aviculariinaes, they'll have pretty fast lifecycles for NW tarantulas. That'll bring the price down faster (assuming they breed well in captivity).

picked up 2 new pink toes today, I always try to grab whatever slings they're selling at the local pet store since I know the employees are either dreading dealing with them or are just luke warm on them. got the other half off since they were getting kinda big for their containers. Always feel bad arthropods in general get shit on so much.

You're both wrong, she's not afraid of bugs on her face because it can't be worse than what happened to her as a child. You can see it in her eyes, and she has the aposematism as well. It's ok though, you folks are better with animals than people.

>>2289861
the first pic was a she. pretty sure the photo i'm replying to is male but hard to gauge the palps at this angle i've got one too but she never looks dusty.

Yo, there is a lady bug in my room who's chilling with me here during the winter. The problem is, that he's crawling around on my window a lot, which concerns me a little, because as far as I know he should sleep so he doesn't starve. Is it because my room is too warm? Should I kick him out so he knows its winter and time to sleep?
Thanks in advance!

>>2294320
Update:
I noticed he was trying to fly a couple of times, which made me quite sure he wouldn't be able to keep this up for too long. So I dropped him off outside on the window. He then went across the window slowly and is now sitting in the upper corner. He didn't move the last few hours. It's about -2 d Celsius (36 d Fahrenheit) outside. Will ladybirdbro be able to make it?

>>2294448

Pretty tough to nail down the exact species since most large dragonfly larvae look very similar.

I'd guess some kind of mosaic darner since they are probably the most common big dragonflies.

Getting it down to family would require taking a look at its jaws.
