Do Bug Zappers Work? Yeah—About As Well As Any Other Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter.

Bug zappers kill bugs by the thousands. But there’s a problem: They kill the wrong bugs. They are ineffective against mosquitoes and other biting flies, and their otherwise indiscriminate killing can disrupt pollination and generally throw the environment out of balance. Plus, the force of their electrocution can spew a mist of disease-ridden bug parts out into the air. All of the mosquito experts we spoke with and every relevant university extension office we could find unanimously condemned bug zappers. To keep an area free of bugs or to prevent yourself from getting bitten, there are much better alternatives.

Do Bug Zappers Work? Yeah—About As Well As Any Other Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter.

Bug zappers kill the wrong bugs—to control bugs without a spray repellent, use a spatial repellent or a fan instead.

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?

Thank you @amanita-strange-and-true for voting for Oakie! This is a traditional piece we did together in an Entomology Club activity. The moth is a sphinx moth (family Sphingidae) :)

Here's a close-up:

And just for fun, we put a photo through an art filter:

Please vote for Miriel, I like Sully and all but Miriel is personally relatable to me as an autistic, awkward nerd lol

Like, everything is science to her, from the study of magic to the study of her friends’ social behavior, and she has to approach socializing in a detached and logical way because her social skills are pretty much nil 😆

Also she hyperfocuses extremely hard when she’s reading (just like meeee), shown in her support with Henry when she entirely fails to notice a snake dropping onto her from a tree and in her support with Lon’qu when he has to stop her from accidentally walking off a cliff because she’s just that into her book.

And yeah Sully is a feminist icon but in my opinion Miriel is also feminist and cool. We support women in STEM here lol

Edit: I made a typo and so I had to go back and fix it because I thought “Miriel would not stand for this.” 😆😆😆

I think I have one

this post made me laugh so hard

Alright.

You ready for a hard 'tag your oc' challenge?

Tag an oc who doesn't have childhood trauma. At all. Who's family is still alive.

I'll wait.
