They are just lame-ass floor wasps. Spiteful, angry. Nobody wants to be a shitty ant, but everybody wants to be a wasp. Countless insects mimic wasps. Even spiders, who are supposed to eat insects.

No, saying ants and wasps are both the same family is like saying humans are apes.
That family is not called "wasps".
You are wrong.
>>
>>5081986
>No, saying ants and wasps are both the same family is like saying humans are apes.
which is also completely true, so spot on analogy there actually.
>That family is not called "wasps".
technically true, in the absolute most meaningless way possible. it's impossible to group all wasps together without also including all ants and bees. so either "wasps" don't exist, or ants and bees are wasps.
>>
>>5082052
>technically true
I accept your concession.
Ants and wasps are in the same order hymenoptera, like bees and some flies. Ants are not wasps, the same way bees are not wasps.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5048770

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

Pygmies are entirely hairless and dark black, but it's clear that the "archaic hominid" africans bred with was something akin to a bonobo. Not only are they naturally sex-oriented, rather than violence like other chimps, but their tendency to walk upright more often would've seemed more familiar. Even Hanno called gorillas "hairy women" and hominid beasteality is unironically very, very common in the region and always has been. It's how africans first acquired Herpes, HIV, MPox, and countless other genetic traits and diseases.

There are several cool doc about the Pygmies on YT from the 30s. They were still happy and free, but now their bloodlines are contaminated and they're all strung out on drugs, drink and junk food while also being literally hunted by their neighbors for food and sport, or to be sold into chattel slavery. It's like American Indians only 50x worse and in africa :/

Up to 50% of weaned northern elephant seal pups, Mirounga angustirostris, present on the Año Nuevo mainland rookery at the end of the breeding season showed evidence (tooth marks and injuries on the neck) of having been mounted by males.

Males mounting weanlings displayed many behaviors that are characteristic of male sexual behavior toward adult females and most weanlings responded like non-estrous females. Weanling mounts lasted an average of 2.8 min (N = 81) and were usually terminated when the male did not pursue an escaping weanling. There was no bias in the sex or the size of mounted weanlings.

my cat has cancer. i was sure it was something different when bringing her in for surgery, so i didn't tell them to put her down right away if they find a malignant tumor. and they didn't. now she's carrying a sure death sentence with her, which makes everything harder.

now i have to nurse her back to health, pay a shitload of money, too, to make sure her next weeks or months are as positive as possible for her, and then put her down when the tumors come back.

i keep telling myself that at the end of the day, it's just a cat. why the fuck does it hurt so much? is this normal? i'm in my mid 30s, i have fought in a war. and now i cry every day over a stupid cat.

Yo I know that guilt is the worst part, but you have to remember, you can't change the past, you can only change the future. Absolutely no use for anyone at all in being hard on yourself for mistakes you made in the past. These are platitudes, but sometimes, or pretty often actually, it's important to repeat them to yourself and truly take in their meaning for a moment.

Another important platitude is that animals don't perceive things the way we do. Your dog most likely never felt mistreated or abandoned by you. 100%, because that's their nature, he loved you with every part of his being and felt the love you had for him.

Thanks man it's just that... For nearly every pet my father and I have had in our lives we were there for them at the end.
We were there for this dogs birth, The birth and death of his mother, and the death of her mother and father.

At least my father and I found his body and will get to bury him with his family/pack, The thought we'd never get closure on where he was or what happened to him was killing us.
With where he was found we have some small solaces too. He never left home, He did not suffer there the riverbank long or even at all, His last moments were spent at the graves of his family.

I think she's constipated again.. not sure if she's in pain, she might be, it's hard to tell. Yesterday she just took two very small shits, despite eating a lot. Today, nothing yet. Obvious sign of constipation, very bad sign in a cat that had a tumor removed two weeks ago that blocked her intestines. Can a tumor really grow back this fast? I know for a fact that it was gone, i paid a lot of money for the x-ray.

Could it be just regular constipation from eating too much? I'd go to the vet straight away, problem is, my usual vet is closed this afternoon, and it's the only place where i can get treatment without cash. And i don't have any cash right now, due to her surgeries. Right now it doesn't seem like an emergency, yet. She doesn't vomit or anything, which would be the only "true" sign of an immediate emergency according to the vet, and she's still eating.

I got the lab results in the mean time, it's an aggressive lymphoma. But even in this case, i was sure she would have at least a few months more. The vet said probably around 3 months, maybe a bit less, maybe more.

The base spider-plan is a very good one in nature considering they've been around for an extremely long time, so to diverge from what's typical for spiders is significant and notable.

Jumping spiders in the 'portia' genus can and will mimic the "mating password" of multiple male web-building spiders on the webs of the respective female. Where the male taps and plucks on the web to see if the female spider is receptive.

also these spiders do not specialize, so they (probably) are not purely instinct-driven.
>>
>>5081772
>also these spiders do not specialize

I mean, they DO specialize in hunting other spiders, but there's such a wide variety of different spiders that require different strategies to hunt that Portias can't just rely on instinct alone
