What if I've filled them up again with already used alcohol?

Didn't try, but could work

I had some very good experience with lady bugs against aphids. So I was looking for something like that and found a "caterpillar fly" (direct translation, not sure if this is correct. Scientific name: Trichopoda pictipennis)

Maybe I could set them out in my balcony garden. But as it's not a real garden, but only a few larger flower boxes, I'm afraid they won't make it long with an active infestation.

But I also haven't found a shop for them yet and don't know, if they can be applied like lady bugs.
Can't stress enough how well that worked against aphids - and I really like them :⁠-⁠)
With a little "bug hotel" they also came back and tried to settle. But sadly our apartment block had the balconies renovated and I needed to move the hotel and now need to start fresh...

Thanks!
Checked them already after skull givers answer, but haven't found anything - maybe they already all hatched now...

This season is already fucked and gone. So I'm currently looking into ways to prevent this next year.

I've read that spraying peppermint helps to keep them away. But we got a bit really wanted mint plant this year, which sits just 25-50cm away from the tomatoes.
Either it's a different mint and only peppermint works, or the plant alone just isn't enough...

Ah, I think you're right!
We are having an infestation this year of those fuckers, but I've only seen the adult ones until now.

Thank you very much!
Those have become a pest here.

If someone knows how to keep them away, it would be very much appreciated.

Edit: the only thing I've found was manual removing them or spraying them with vinegar and soap water. I've now freed my 3 poor plants of them manually (into a bag with vinegar, soap and hot water)
At least now I know, why all our tomatoes this year started to rot with some mold infection

 

Have never seen those bugs before. A whole bunch of them on our only tomato surviver this year.

This is in Austria, if that helps.

Thanks!!

We found our cat young and starving, being left alone outside.
But he was used to be outside and just locking him in would be cruel.
He mostly happily hides in a hole or some cellar around, when he is outside anyway.

We tried giving him a safety collar, but he was already like 6 months old, when we found him and wasn't used to one. So he always got rid of the safety ones and we were too afraid that he should strangulate himself with a non-safety one.
He is chipped. So I hope this is enough, when someone catches him.
But he is very shy with other people and it worked out for 13 years now I'm different areas of the city - sometimes, in his young and wild years, he was gone for 2-3 days, but he always came back happy and hungry :-)

Stell ich mir auch für die Kinder ungut vor, spätestens wenn sie in die Pubertät kommen und mehr Privatsphäre wollen

Sometimes I work on a larger project that is split up in different sub projects, that were sold separately and are maybe paid by different departments. So I need to at least spilt those up.
Also it's often easier to follow what exactly was done, when I differentiate more between my tasks and not just put a collective line there - just like small commits are more helpful than one large one.

But maybe I understood you wrong...?

As we're currently fighting for the life of our cat, who always loved to eat grass for years, be aware that eating grass/plants is often a sign of illness - because that want to puke something out or aren't feeling well.

Because I didn't reacted early enough, I've maybe fucked up. So please keep an eye on that and maybe check for an (bacterial) infection of the stomach

Because you can't easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Ah, thank you for the explanation!

I'm 40 and would have no idea how big penis of a toddler should be - and with all growth hormone stuff happening, I wouldn't feel comfortable at judging at this age (besides that it is mostly irrelevant in long term relationships)

Also, my personal penis, so to speak, can be very minor, but as a grower I needed to step up my confidence, when being naked - but of curse instead of an actual micro penis, mine seems to be just shy and needs some encouraging words or kisses.
So maybe I can't relate.

Still I think this idea is idiotic
