bog magic

It's a floating mass in a peat bog. T'was windy.

What... am I seeing?

Hell yeah!

There is so much milkweed in the area, like 150 m away the ditch on the main road is LOUSY with them. I'm sure if I keep it up they will make their way over.

Nice! I’ve been spreading milkweed seeds around our neighborhood for a couple years now. It’s taken in a few small pockets but none more than this small park nearby. Presumably that’s because it’s getting watered regularly.

I don't think you explained anything. But ok, whatever, I'm missing the joke. I don't feel left out. Have a nice day.

This reply is wild lol

Did the english language get an Academy while I was hanging out with the wood chips or something?

I can't imagine having the audacity to say something like this to someone who already explained they picked the word specifically. I'm sorry you feel left out of the joke.

Yes. The expression comes from the concept of psyching someone out. Sike has no meaning or precedent. It's just a spelling that sounds the same.

Ignorance?

I understand and don't really mind changes in language that come from convenience or laziness. But when they come from ignorance like this one and 'should of' it bothers me.

Unfortunately, though it almost certainly started out as "psyche," the alternate spelling of "sike" is now the more common usage and therefore likely considered acceptable... but if my kids ever spell it that way, I will disown them.

Psyche

You can tell it's slime mold because of how neat it is.

They turn into awesome hummingbird moths!

Moved about 90 miles from that location. Been rewilding our yard and seen a grasshopper for the first time in the yard last week!

We've pulled 47 off our tomato plants in the past three days.

On the upside, the chickens absolutely love them.

why does the devil wear such beautiful clothes

Same location? I wonder if it has someone to do with the ecological collapse, like when was the last time you had to clean bug guts off your windshield? I also don't see as many grasshoppers, moths, or butterflies as I used to :(

Used to get these all the time about 30 years ago on our tomato's, I haven't had a single one in the 10 years I have been gardening again.

It looks like the caterpillar from Alice in wonderland. That's really cool

The eye spots are pretty crazy too

Oh my goodness thank you for posting this I had no idea about this spider's fancy web!

It's an orb weaver spider chilling in the stabilimentum of its web in the garden.

This is a photo by this spiders ex, and they’ve scratched them out of the picture

In all seriousness though, I wonder if this confuses bugs with simpler pattern recognition to not e see the spider so easily?

What's happening here? What are those wiggly white lines around the spider?
