Hey everyone,
I've been away for a while because of school and travel and other stuff, the plants are still alive, but they don't look particularly exceptional, so I figured I'd post some pics from the last while.
I'll start off with some pics from the Pittsburgh zoo:
Snow Leopard by...
This is a hypothetical, based upon hearsay, so no need for any fireworks! Say I'm kicking around in the Pocono Mts of PA or the pine barrens of NJ, and I come across one of the legendary introduced VFTs. Legalities aside, I'm curious what people have to think about the ethics of collecting such...
This little (actually pretty big) fellow showed up after planting this Sarr., and has been growing ever since. It started out at a central point along with the new plant and has begun to spread out. It has a pretty fast growth rate. Leaves to about three inches. It reminds me a bit of...
Just some random photos I took in the past week:

And a little Emerald Ash Borer I caught, he is currently in my freezer being prepared for preservation in isopropyl alcohol, for donation to my Bio teacher, for the...
Since Sarracenia is definitely one of the biggest parts of my collection, I think its time I made them their own thread.. iI'll start off with photos taken yesterday.. Things are FINALLY starting to pick up with our recently sunny weather and I finally have some new pitchers coming up, as well...

Found this caterpillar munching on my Sarracenia yesterday evening. So I took a few pics to try and identify it, then I noticed the pictures were turning out pretty nice - it was dusk and the flash was going off, so I snapped a few more while I was out there. Oh, and I never got a 100%...

I have S. Fireworks on my grow list, but when I did an inventory of my plants I didn't find it anywhere. It's missing, and I don't know what happened. I have too many to keep up with. I took a printed list outside and checked off each plant and that was the only one I couldn't find, so I would...
Some of you may recall me mentioning that MN has the largest Somali Muslim community in the US. As with most people in MN who like fireworks, they drive to WI to buy them for the 4th...

Wooh, another thing to add to my life death experiences, for 2007.
A pneumothorax is collection of air or gas in the space surrounding the lungs.
And some how that air got popped, around 7:00pm last night collapsing a small part of my left lung, at first we thought it was a reaction to some...
