Dragonflies are awesome. I didn’t pull off it’s wing, I usually stay away from them but this one was pretty mellow. Look at those colours and those big buggy eyes!
I've seen some that have colors like camouflage this summer. The US govt had to borrow some camo patterns from them at some point.

That wasn't scary to me, but I watched the original Night of the Living Dead alone in my dad's basement when I was like 5, lol. Now that was kinda scary, lol.

They're coming to get you Barbara.

That movie freaked me out as a kid as well. I was also up alone watching Sinister Cinema way back in the day. The part when the guy fled into the basement towards the end was when I got all freaked out. Nowadays those movies are like comedy.

Was poltergeist the one when the dude started peeling the skin off his face in the mirror? If so that traumatized me at the sitters when i was probably no older than 4. I remember thinking why's dude pulling fried chicken off his face than he started bleeding? I dont remember and I never made a point of revisiting that movie. Probably hokey AF now but damn that kept mum up with me for a week or so lol.

So ladybugs eat other bugs as adults. As nymphs I’m pretty sure they’re predacious too. Makes me think the larva is as well. So if that’s true, then unlike most bugs it’s not eating your plant. Maybe it crawled in there for aphids? I’m not joking about that, they’re a very aggressive predator. Now if it decides to stay in your bud and go to the next stage in it’s cycle, then that’s not so good if it’s in there shitting.
Your plant’s not finished. You have or had a food source for them on your plant, likely aphids, and they set up shop.
Adult ladybugs don't eat nearly as much as nymphs the only thing they do in thay stage is eat. As adult they do eat but not really more aggression due to mating then sustenance.


Any supplier not selling you nymphs means they are probably raiding natural bug communities at the end of their breeding cycle...their least active feeding time and one followed immediately by laying eggs and dying...so min 2-3 weeks for new nymphs if they breed in your environment and survive.

I watched that one at slumber party when I was around 11 or 12 along with The Postman Always Rings Twice (the one with Jack Nicholson). All I remember is Jack ass punching Jessica Lange, HARD. It was an odd movie combo for a bunch of unsupervised preteens, lol
Maggots. No wonder I blocked that movie out lol. I cant do maggots. Probably why I only lasted one season as a sternman. Maggoty herring...:spew:
Me neither! And those totes they kept the fish in would look like they were moving after a day or two in the sun. I spent a summer rinsing those out before they'd get hauled back to the plant. One of my biggest motivators for going back to school.

The chest high totes are the worst lol. Filled with gallons and gallons of pickle.

I imagine working at one of the sardine factories back when they were booming was rough. I was told to stay away from the heavily sauced ones (hot or mustard) they were the ones that were chowderd up and off the floor:bigjoint:
