    The face of a drumming katydid (photo)

    Hi all, OK, I think I have sorted out the problems I was having with stacking images. The photo below is of an immature drumming katydid (Meconema thalassinum) that I compiled from a stack of 41 images. Its head was no more that 2 or 3 mm across. What do you think? Now it is time to move on to...

    Other Utrics I Can Grow In Semi Aquatic Conditions?

    So about 6 months I got some Utrics from Tony, and while they were in excellent condition and grew well for a while, I've had TONS of trouble keeping mold off the media and have lost most of them. However, I recently received some U. dichtoma from flytraplady, and thanks to here advice set them...

    B. aquatica

    Questions concerning Sarracenia psittacina

    I know that in the wild S. psittacina has been known to capture aquatic prey during flooding. Does anyone know how long can they be submerged for, or if it would begin to rot or kill the plant due to flooding being a temporary thing? Would it be a possible way to help curb the "wigglers"...

    Mystery aquatic bug

    I found an interesting critter today. I won't say from who I got it, just in case it's a pest. I doubt it, though. Alas, it is effectively microscopic, and I cannot take a picture of it; I haven't the necessary tools. (I wish I did!) I tried to look it up, but Google just brought up aphids on...

    schultz aquatic plant soil as aggregate?

    I think I have this at a local lowes. To my understanding its nutrient free and neutral in pH so I thought i might use it instead of sand or perilte which is unavailable. The trouble is, is that this medium is designed to absorb and release nutrients. Will it harm my plants? Can i use it on...
