MOD announcement Introducing Trusted Identifier flairs!

40 Upvotes

Trusted Identifiers will now be granted a flair of "👑Trusted Identifier👑", or "👑{custom user flair}👑".

These will be people who repeatedly demonstrate expert Identification abilities, these flairs will add extra trust and credence behind their ID.

So on posts with multiple different IDs, look out for the Trusted Identifiers as their ID will likely be the correct one, even if it goes against the masses.

(For those with custom user flairs which have been replaced by the Trusted Identifier flair, you can switch back to a custom flair and add the crown emojis yourself if you still wish to maintain your custom flair. Im working on automating this so that custom flairs stay intact and it adds the emojis without replacing the whole flair, but for now just edit it yourself if the whole flair is replaced)


Taking this opportunity I'd like to also introduce 2 new moderators:

So, the security guy just grabbed him with his bare hands and put it in a jar, with the idea of feeding the snake at home (I did not know that he has a snake at home before this occasion). However, I am interested in what species this is, as it looks pretty uncommon for my region (Belgrade, Republic of Serbia). Thank you in advance!

I’m assuming my green bean seedling just hired a crew of bodyguards?

This show may be well-known, but our family is new to it! Our 4 month old has to do a breathing treatment every few hours, and he just loves watching Lucas the Spider for a distraction during the treatment; it’s bright with lots of movement. We think it’ll be a great way to prevent fear of spiders for him. It’s also a kids’ show that we parents don’t get annoyed with instantly. Just wanted to share for the other parents here!

Project I’ve been working on for a few years to demystify the spiders of the world, and show people that even the deadliest of them aren’t bloodthirsty monsters. These are wild individuals.

We’re in the process of opening our pool (excuse the nasty water haha) and found this poor soul floating around on a patch of maple seeds. I’ve been lurking for months now doing the whole exposure therapy thing and I guess it’s working! Even just-a-few-months-ago me wouldn’t have been able to get it out and this morning I rescued a spider without hesitation.

While I’m here though: grass spider?

We’re in southeastern PA.
