I don't know what your talking about, that art is stuff that I commissioned from other atists thus why I call it the Commissions Gallery, notice how all of the oc's art looks different, my art is so bad that I just don't care what they look like at all. if there is a positive for me your comment lite a fire under me to ask "hey maybe you should deal with that gallery like get the artists links in there or else?"

also the code for the Birthday/wishlist and index is from the sadgrl Layout builder so it is not even mine. like notice the words of the Patreons are just heightened, those are supposted to be links that I also was able to break some how. and so when you commented on what those two things I am assuming what you mean I finally got off my butt to do something about it, thus thank you.

Ah, sorry about that! I thought you were offering to draw for other people, and were giving examples of your work, since some if it looked like it was drawn in a similar way and I've seen other people do that. Sorry about the confusion!

it's okay, me distracting myself from not doing it is what caused the misunderstanding to begin in the first place. I should have delt with it earlier but I didn't and now I am going to have to wait for the code I just putted in to just show up on the website with the links.

Very late reply but what a cool observation! It's very clear, I usually don't see them so clear! super interesting :-)

yes ball pythons! woah that wasp story's pretty neat :o how long did it take to raise the wasps?

I am not sure, they were paper wasps, I am guessing not long based on the lifespan of a paper wasp.

Wasps are adorable, they don't deserve all the hate they get

I agree Lyn, they are such beneficial creatures.

Thanks! That is interesting. I always enjoy reading about your creatures

This formation method means that they might not actually be iron films, but this type is quite understudied, and I originally encountered it in a vernal pool. :) If that is too much trouble though, no problem! I hope your vernal pool patrols go well! (and what a cool term, haha)

I could do that! It looks like you have iNaturalist, are there any projects related to iron films?

I just saw your ecospheres page and it is so cool! I want to make some now :-)

(I hope this method replies to you!) I actually just now made an account! People usually report films on iNaturalist as "Leptothrix discophora" but I've been hesitant to do the same because it's much more likely that they can form in a plethora of different ways that can't really be ascribed to one species. But I'll look into it more!

And yes you totally should make ecosphere jars! They're so fun and low-maintenence, and it's especially amazing to watch them evolve over time. My oldest one is 1.5 years and is still not done changing! Some professors I know have ones that are 15 years old..

Sorry for spam, but I just made a project after seeing there were none! :) https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/iron-films

aaand even more spam -- I found another project, oops! https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/bog-iron

Thanks! I'll join both projects.
