Pretend chat 2

Something's eating my plants outside... Any clue what bug it is?

My best Mr. Science Guy guess is a bug with chewing mouth parts. Hope this helps.

I think caterpillars but don't see any. And oddly enough they're eating my sage too.

Welcome to pretend chat. In that we don't have a real chat on the forum, we've made a pretend one. Here we just yack about anything and in doing so, we get to know each-other on a more casual level.

Not great tortoise weather lol

 

[Kerryann]

Weather guessers just said 75 on Friday. After the last few days, Friday will feel cold I fear.

Did anyone else see the gorilla story from Cincinnati, Ohio?

Apparently a local hotel has turned pet friendly during this heat wave and are even offering a 20% discount for locals with their pets. I now may need to check in there for a weekend get-a-way in the winter just to thank them for their generosity. Seems that there may be humans out there after all.

Humans are animals too.. technically

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

So it's very likely your tortoise is captive bred. England and the eu have very strong import laws in regard to tortoises and other, “exotics". Concerning your weather, here in Oregon, we too have the wonderful, cool, moist, weather. We don't tan here, we rust...

I had leaves that looked like that and I flipped over the leaves and there were two big fat slugs. A friend of mine told be to crush up egg shells and sprinkle them at the base of plants affected by slugs and it is too pointy for them to walk over and get to the plant.

Slugs walk over. That's funny. I think they'd just jump over it.

 

[RosieRedfoot]

I don't see any caterpillar poo or any bugs. I went through and cut off all the half munched leaves and leggy branches and now my plants look tiny but they'll grow back. I disturbed two spider webs though but I don't think web creating spiders also take chunks out of plants.

Here comes the rain today! And have to get ready for work soon. Whee... Means it'll probably be slow since no one likes carrying in return items in the rain.

Slugs can jump? Phew I was able to edit a grammatical error I made!

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Rain…my forced air has already kicked on. No rain in sight for at least 10 days…sigh

Slugs only have one foot. I was just poking fun…

Just wondering is anyone on this chat from England? I haven't seen many on the site yet (maybe that's just me being rubbish at looking lol)

[RosieRedfoot]

These are planters up on the railing... I guess it could be slugs but usually they go for my flower bed in the ground.

Nice russian tort you've got there. I'm thinking that at some point recently, we had a forum member from England in chat. We do have many members from England on the forum though.
