All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

I am a very green convert from Reddit Sync, and am still internally dealing with the sadness of having to leave some great communities on there... This place already seems like it'll be a lot of fun, even with how small it is yet.
Oh wow! Never seen one of them so up close!
I am in the same boat as you. But I know that despite it being a difficult thing initially, if we have enough migrators flocking here, it might not be the same place as Reddit, but it will be enough of a haven for us to survive and then thrive!
Yeah it was such a fun little surprise. It was on my hiking pants which are light tan, and so it blended in pretty decently. I was able to spot it because of its funny little wobbly gait.
Aww. I am glad the bug survived!
Aww, that lace bug is adorbs! I finally found one of these a few weeks ago after literally years of trying! So cool; thanks for sharing that!!
I just learned about these things after aphids colonized my birch tree. We ordered lacewing eggs online. I go outside and check for new larvae about every hour. I cannot wait for them all to hatch.
