Re: Has anyone heard of the seller Roger An?
Sure, just do be cautious with email from unknown persons. Now and then I get email from sellers I don't know, they will go through old ads sometimes looking for victims. Even so, even well meaning people can be unreliable, or worse, using goods and services is the only way to have an insurance poli...

Re: Has anyone heard of the seller Roger An?
Exactly. I apologize for being misunderstood, and should have been more clear. There are some sellers who will send material like ova before payment, but it's more of a EU practice. I've only had a couple people send diapuased material before a payment as well. No matter our economic status, nobody ...

Re: Has anyone heard of the seller Roger An?
If the email is unsolicited, I'd be more than cautious. It's probably a scam, that means most likely, not 100%. I get unsolicited email often enough, and never answer it unless I am familiar with the individual. We all have regular contacts, and sometimes those persons will contact me, but I know th...

Brutal? Ok, I can take that. I answered the post in the manner I answer posts, I can only see what I see, nothing else. April 29th was 6 days ago, it's not beyond reasoning that I might have concluded the post was not urgent. Not long ago there was a post about Ninja clothes moths made in some bizar...

Another one?
This morning, I checked the website, for new fun things. I got a message about "allowing notifications" . Please elaborate .

Re: Blood Sucking Mites living on our skin
It's pretty clear now. Apparently this post is another fake one, presumably, in consideration, by an android intelligence. Having given you the benefit of the doubt originally, I will be weighing the possibilities when answering future dubious entries. It's not funny. You are not actually fooling an...

Re: Blood Sucking Mites living on our skin
I am not seeing anything that looks like a living organism, at least not an Arthopod. Good photography, but they look like sand grains to me.
Perhaps someone else has better eyes.

Mystery moth
This surprise moth hatched from a cocoon (pictured) supposed to have been Epiphora sp. Origin Central Africa I tried an image search, (for the first time) and found something similar. Gonometa sp. looked close, but not exact. Amazing cocoon construction, hard as a rock. All the material is identical...

Re: resource limit reached
Super!
I was unsure if it was happening to others, and the way to find out is to ask. As good as my provider claims to be, one never knows,
streaming takes a nap often enough, and the official answers from tech support are usually laughable, or simply annoying.

Re: Found in new house inspection!
The inspector might have identified it for you, but as a former contractor I never put much faith in home inspectors to begin with.
Before you move in, try some bug bombs, or traps, professional pest control is dubious.

Just curious.
Does anyone else get a message like this " resource limit reached" this happens from time to time, and the page simply won't load ?
Conjecture is welcome, but our internet connection is a good one with faster than typical speed, and the computer I use is 6 months old.

Re: Thoughts on NABA?
Photos of wild insects are just pretty pictures, even in some of my guide books, by well known persons have less than stellar photos, and I take pictures as well, they go in the digital photo frame.
Next time use a better acronym.

I'm glad you sorted it out Chuck.
What I typically do from time to time, is rearrange things, and put them in "better" places. That's when they go missing.

Re: Clothes moths infestation — Tineola Bisselliella and Monopis Crocicapitella
All these conclusions may be accurate. Other than childish amusement, I am missing the point of the original post. Even without being an expert on clothes moths, I found the premise to be virtually impossible, this is what often happens when people, or robots, step out of their field of expertise an...

Re: Clothes moths infestation — Tineola Bisselliella and Monopis Crocicapitella
Try some better synthetic clothing. My first impression is that there is something other than an insect at work. Your efforts at abatement seem
quite extensive, and I am having trouble envisioning the moth conspiracy which is plaguing you.

That was ambitious. Multiple topics about importing have popped up here from time to time. Your purpose doesn't matter, the Gov. wants to be involved.

Re: Thoughts on NABA?
There's no such thing as a "controlled burn" Ask the CA Dept. of Forestry. When I lived in Humboldt, they had 2 get of of hand and caused a mess.
There is a database of Pacific Northwest leps I use, never heard of the NABA, doesn't sound like I want to.
