spider

With the weather finally getting hot, there's an explosion of bugs. This here spider made it web on my Philodendron so I gave him a fruit fly.

Here is my new G. Pulchra's new home, after I redid it 3 times :sorry: I made a promise to him that I am done messing up his home, now he can mess it up and rearrange as much as he wants and I promise to leave it alone app. 3 " eco-earth, remember he is still less than 1" and yes there is a...

So, my pictures aren't as amazing as Larry's, but I still wanted to share this. My bical is buzzing with activity! (the pitcher pictured also houses a little green spider under the lid- where it's poofed to, I don't know. I wanted a picture of it chillin under the lid though and I'd call the...

My neps have been followed by slugs and earwigs for the past few months. No matter where I moved them, the slugs got to them. They ate holes in the leaves and pitchers, and killed basals from underneath the ground up. Last night I found a small space underneath the window in the grow room where...

Just some pics I've taken over the last few days. Decided to repot the small ping collection. I've had better luck with this media than the sandy stuff they were in. Decided to repot the insane P. moranensis.. P. gigantea is growing well.. D. capensis 'Alba' be growin'...

I'm getting really annoyed by all the spiders out this season. I don't know why this season is turning out to be so bad- the mites were new, the black buggies were new, the lackluster sundews, dead cobra lily. A few of my many Sarrs are dying out- rotting, I guess? There wasn't a problem with...

& lunchmenu: spider ---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ---------- And a vft drooling over its lunch (the trap on the left):

So, I've never had this problem before. I grow outside. 50/50 peat and perlite. I've had the same bag of Canadian peat for probably 3 years. It's been kept in a shed and sealed up. Anyway, this year is my first year with seeds. First immediate question- what to Sarracenia look like when they're...

The old guy at work clipped this cartoon out for me today: It's a new series in the St. Paul paper called "Brevity". *terrible knowledge of spider anatomy and VFT morphology but it still made me smile.

A few days ago I recieved a Dionaea muscipula B52 plant division and saw tiny red dots but I disregarded them. Today I was observing them closely and saw a couple moving and long story short, they are spider mites. So far I have been removing them manually with a wet Q-tip. I also collected...

So, I am looking around my plants today to see how they are doing and I see this spider crawling around! Thought some of you spider collectors would appreciate seeing it! I have heard about people having bugs or viruses coming in on newly purchased plants!!! But I haven't seen anything like...

DIY ROCK BACKGROUND AND ROCKS I finally had time to get into doing some tank decoration again so I am making a rock background and pile of rocks to be used (hopefully) as a den by my Chilean Rose Tarantula who comes from the Atacama Desert. So her tank won't be very exciting so this will...

few things for trade Hey tf, i have probably my last trade for awhile x1 p. titan sized for a 3 in pot, though dormant at the moment x1 d. dichotoma, sized 3 in pot x1 pair of d. spatulata 'white flower' flower mature x1 clump of 2-3 d. natalensis umbrella tree (12in tall?+) angel wing...

I went to Storables and The Container Store today and picked up some great DIY Tarantula enclosures. 1.5 gallon Candy Jars for arboreal baby spiders through sub adults. Some mantids will probably live in a couple of them too. I can fit eight across the top of my CD and DVD shelves (gotta get...

As usual, I went to go water my neps and prune away the dead leaves and such, and decided to dig up the bromeliad I had put in the yard because it smelled (water tank + dying flowers = GROSS) while it was making pups. Well, I did manage to get two pups off of it - one big and one that was...

I have no idea how it got there!

Hi guys - more pics time! Also, I had my oreo finally open its pitcher and a small spider take residence, but it's too dark out to take any more pictures today :-( tiny glabrata pitcher just opened and the glabrata plant from the top red leopard just opened a pitcher after sulking for...

** United States only, please. Thank you for your interest, members from around the globe. :) ** There is no chance that these plants have spider mites or scale, but I can spray them with Neem oil if you're worried. ** This is not first come, first serve. Best offer gets the plant/s. Aldrovanda...

In the middle of winter, I find that there are red spider mites and scale on most of my Nepenthes. Everything needs to be treated with an insecticide, but I just can't put them outside right now... any advice? Plants with mites include N. hamata, clipeata x eymae, and just about any other...
