    Help me save a moth

    Can you put them in glasses? How do you capture them without damaging the wings?

    It also seems pretty bad at flying, so it might not actually survive

    My advice as bug-captureing veteran:

    Get a clear jar/glass, so you can see the moth inside so you know where it is at all times so you don't hurt it.

    Its actually not that hard, just walk up and gently put the cup or jar on top of it. Make sure the mouth of the jar does not touch the bug, but goes around it. Then oooooh so slowly and gently get a piece of paper and sliiiiiide it under the cup/jar. life the paper that is covering the mouth of the jar and the jar up together, and then tip the jar so the bottom of the jar is tilted upwards. Bugs always like to climb UP, so the moth will most likely climb to the bottom of the jar that is slightly tilted up. This is good because then it is away from the mouth of the jar, allowing you to put a lid on, of course with breathing holes on top. Keep in mind you normally wouldn't want to keep a moth in just a jar, it is a good temporary housing solution, but NOT a good permanent one. Once you have it secure in the jar/glass, asses its health. Whats wrong with its wings? Are they deformed? torn? folded? After you figure that out, start googling like crazy. Find out what kind of moth it is, what it eats, ect. That'll help you care for it.

    Post some pictures of the moth if you can!

    House spider?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasteatoda_tepidariorum

    Their bites hurt (like most spiders), but they won't bite unless you physically abuse them (ie grab them in your fist and squeeze them, possibly while shaking your hand violently up and down I imagine). And it won't kill you.

    They look pretty similar--but I am noticing some unique red-ish markings on Leggy and a different shaped abdomen.

    Leggy is adorable.

    I share a room with my sister, an old half blid guinea pig and a scary snail.image.thumb.png.fb3a93da0cb77eea92dbf822f92b0494.png I'm sure that one night she/he/they/it ( @angelheart help me, what are the genderpronouns of snails?!) is going to kill me

    I have owned multiple pet slugs before (LOL please don't judge I adore them)

    Slugs at least, can change gender at will, depending weather there is a male of female slug nearby. If there are no other slugs near by, they can actually reproduce by themselves. 

     

    I just declared my slugs male or female, and went with it. Mushroom was a girl, Portobello and Truffle were boys.

     

    Also, is there enough moisture in there for the snail? I don't see any substrate in there, either. 

     

    For feeding of the snail, I'd recommend cucumbers. My slugs went bonkers over those. Also kale works in a pinch.

    You gotta make sure the water you spray in there either comes from your own well (if you have one, so you know there aren't any added chemicals), or natural bottled spring water (this is probably this best--just make sure that theres no added salt or other bad stuff in it), or distilled water (but I wouldn't recommend that as your first choice because it lacks some natural minerals and stuff) I definitely would NOT recommend tap water--it often has added chemicals to it like chorine that can be bad for the slug/snail's sensitive skin.

    make sure you wash off the cucumbers and other stuff you give them really well with some of the water choices above. Their food often has harmful chemicals and pesticides on them.

     

    ANYway, rant over! The snail is super cute!!!!

    Chime found Pumpkin at last. "Oh, there you are, darling!" She said. "Now, I heard you got a thorn in your paw recently and I wanted to check on you!" She fussed, examining Pumpkin's paw carefully. "Well, you got it out, and thats good. Lets put some honey on there, just to soothe it. Now don't put pressure on it until I return!" She turned to leave and get the honey.

    Chime sighed, a bundle of herbs stuffed into her jaws. She was looking for one of her tribemates who had gotten cut that morning. She also wanted to check with Pumpkin, for she was not always only concerned with making people feel better on the outside--she wanted to make sure everyone felt good on the inside, too. She bustled about in a motherly way, giving a friendly nod to Orchid as she past her.

    RULES!

    I don't hang out much in the roleplays so I don't know if this is a big issue but I didn't forbid swearing completly because I feel like that would hinder the development of certain characters and I feel like roleplaying is a big free zone.

    Do you feel like this is a big issue in our roleplays? :)

    I honestly am not sure; I haven't participated in many RPs before on here except the ones that I am pretty much positive aren't going to use offensive language. So I really don't know, but I don't think its a HUGE problem. I just think a no swearing rule on RPs are a nice safety net, so I don't have to be on my toes all the time around the RP section. 

    But of course, I understand that it might cause annoyance to others in the RPs who are trying to develop their characters.

     

    It was just an idea. 🤷‍♀️
