What's going on with my vft? This one has started to curl down since yesterday. He's looking weak because he got knocked off my porch a couple weeks ago and he's still trying to make a come back.

Thank you, glad to know he's still doing ok.

There's another smaller one on the other side with 3 "claws" as I've been calling them. I'm in North Texas and the weather here has been odd. This is my first year with a vft so I'm still learning about dormancy.

Thank you, but where we live the likelihood that he's still alive is pretty slim.

Thank you all for the identification. I will continue to keep an eye out for any other bones I can't identify.

This is true.

Thank you. Now I know what happened to my friendly neighborhood raccoon. That's sad.

This makes me feel a bit better. Thank you. Found another skull farther back but I didn't get a picture. Will tomorrow.

I believe thats a fall army worm. I have tons in my yard and have just been devouring my grass.

I'll look up snail and slug eggs and see what I find. Didn't even consider those.

They had almost clear bodies and tiny black heads (from what I could tell anyways). As I scraped them off a few fell and were hanging by what looked like webbing. We have walnut caterpillars out here so I considered them but I'm not sure.

Oh I will have to do this. I don't want the suckers to hurt Steve.

This was taken as they were hatching. Some went inside the trap as I removed them but I guess they were too tiny to eat. I was hoping they would get eaten as well.

savedthebestforlast · 2 months

That was my feelings exactly.

I managed to use a pair of scissors to carefully scrape them off. It doesn't look like they did any damage but I can't tell right now. I still don't know what they are.

Thank you! They were kinda freaking me out flipping around in the grass.

savedthebestforlast · 2 months

I think your right. They were all over my yard. Some were dark like this and some were a brighter green. Also looked like the little spots had tiny little hairs on them.

I get this one a lot as well. I'm 28 and still tiny. It's either "how are you so small? Do you even eat?" Or some variation on what my diet is.

I was so happy when I found that show. And loved the way they were going then boom it's over. I was very upset for weeks.
