    Nemerteans in the terrarium

    I found a video that shows the worms I have crawling up my Anoles vivarium glass. Nemerteans (not my video) Anyone else have these? They went away when I let the tank dry out but once the soil is consistently moist they come back. They kill other bugs and not plants so I guess that's cool but...

    Found 2 nestling robins

    Hey guys. Today my neighbors called saying they found a nest of robins that feel from a tree on a windy night. They watched from a far window for a few hours to check if the mother or father would risk caring for them again. They didn't find a single adult in the yard. I took the nest home with...

    inchworms?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with tiny little inchworms? I have found 2 on my jonesii and one on a flytrap flower. Two of the jonesii pitchers came out deformed and finally wilted and died. One of the flowers also died a few weeks after blooming. Most of the plant is doing fine however so...

    Can I feed a VFT worms?

    I have to grow my VFT indoors under lights due to extremely high temperatures outside. We have already hit 107 with 10% humidity this year. It looks like it is going to be a scorcher this year. Last year was nice, it only hit 117F. :D Anyway, since my plant is grown indoors it does not get...

    Trying a new soil mix

    I have a few Nepenthes in my classroom. They have been in LFS and have done so so. I decided I would experiment with them with a soil mix and I was wondering if anyone has tried this before. I have a worm farm compost bin. I took worm castings to mix in with the peat and peralite. The worm...

    No not worm infested but wormy looking plants! Avonia albissima Detail of the transparent blooming "head"? Avonia papayracea ssp. namaensis. Seems to just be getting started for the year. Info on these weirdos seems scarce, appears to me that the wormy vegetation is deciduous from the...

    Plain English CP Encyclopedia

    i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms! Please, ENJOY...

    Invasive worms?

    Apparently worms are an invasive species that are destroying forest ecosystems in some Northern North American forests (like Minnesota, for instance). Discuss. Invasive worms? This article is really interesting, partly because it outlays the different types of worms and their suitability to...

    Raising meal worms - keeping Indian Meal Moths out

    I found the other threads about raising them here, but neither of them specifically address this issue. I found a great site about raising them: http://www.sialis.org/raisingmealworms.htm And it does mention these pests. I have had problems with these in rice and cereals before. Indian Meal...

    Utricularia graminifolia - My Experiences

    First post here and thought I'd relay my experiences with this little one. I recieved my 1st few leaves of this plant about 6 months ago, it was a pitiful plant I ordered from a CP nursery (will remain nameless), sent bare root in a small amount of water. Really tiny for the price, about 1...

    Some kind of bug in the soil.

    I noticed these before in my pot of some drosera seedlings and I didn't think it was a big deal, but there's more than before and I'm a bit worried. They're small, the biggest being probably about 1mm long. They hop too, and when I blow on the soil they crawl around. I don't think they're worms...

    A week or two Ago I encountered some trouble with tomato fruitworms. They ate my VFTs and I found one on my primrose butterwort (Pinguicula primuliflora). The worm cut a leaf completely off. I just left the cut leaf an the soil(not intending to make it a leaf cutting, but this was what I found...

    Eaten Growth Points...

    Just a few moments ago I went to check out my mini-bog and after seeing a few deformed pitchers coming from my S. catesbaei I decided I better have a closer look. The other day we had been shucking corn on the front porch near my mini-bog and just plucked out the corn worms that were nibbling...
