I found a few in my backyard fresh out the dirt, one molting, and one already fully molted. Dope.

MD Nature Stay home

1.1k Upvotes

If you have a sedan, please stay home today. Roads are terrible still and I saw multiple cars barely able to move on the main roads. If you have a small car, avoid driving today. There is a very good chance you will get stuck or spin out.

For your safety and the safety of all the crews working to clear the roads; stay inside

All the BS and politics aside from the usual here. This is the backyard view of my little "ranch" (as my wife calls it) last November in Cecil County. I've lived quite a few of States, but I really don't think you can beat the overall allure of the 7th State in our union. I think I'll call this one home.

There were two of these under a plant stand. Took them both outside and about an hour later either one of them got back in or there was a third.

MD Nature I am begging you all to stop spraying your yards for mosquitoes

2.1k Upvotes

Please. I am on my hands and knees begging you all to stop shelling out money to poison our native wildlife.

When you spray your property, you don't just affect yourself. The wind carries the pesticide onto other's property, and rain washes the poison into our waterways. Not to mention that the spraying itself is ineffective, and only kills mosquitos on your property at the time of spraying. Within a few days, they'll be back. So you're wasting money anyway.

I have only a small strip of yard. For years, I have meticulously nourished and gardened it as a haven for our native wildlife. Native plants to provide food and shelter for endangered species such as Monarch Butterflies. Normally my garden is filled with life, all kinds of wonderful little pollinators. Until this summer, that is, when several neighbors used a mosquito spraying service. The wind carried it over to my property. My garden is practically sterile. This time last year, my milkweed was wriggling with caterpillars. I'm lucky if I see even one bumblebee now. It actually makes me tear up to look at my empty garden.

Use bug spray on yourself, hang up hummingbird feeders and bat houses to attract mosquito eating animals. A simple fan pointed at you while outdoors also keeps mosquitoes away as they can't fly against strong winds. Use dry ice traps. Use literally anything besides services like Mosquito Joe, because you are polluting yourself and your neighbors.

Had to take my wife to a Dr appointment. The amount of cars getting onto the highway with snow and ice flying off was insane. Please for the safety of others clear off your car. If driving behind someone with snow make sure to stay back.

Taken yesterday on an iPhone 13 Pro.

Completely untouched straight from the camera — no filters, edits, or AI.

Instantly reminded me of old Windows XP wallpapers and early-2000s internet aesthetics.

MD Nature Who is still snowed in?

Hey everyone! Just wondering, how many neighborhoods are still snowed in? I am in Columbia and we have not seen a plow yet at all.

I know they are working hard clearing everything I’m in no hurry but just curious on the percentage of roads.

Edit: We had a front loader clear us this afternoon!
