This poor little guy got stuck in an insanely strong web
Not sure how to get the web off without damaging his wing
He was so scared after I pulled him off that he walked across the yard and climbed up my leg
Finally put him on the table. He has been there for about 20 minutes. Can still walk but can’t fly
Going to put out some grapefruit for him. If anyone has any tips on how to deal with the web being attached to the wing in a safe/easy way that doesn’t break it, please let me know
Put out some grapefruit for him and squeezed it so he can drink the juice (idk what moths eat; internet recommended fruit if flowers aren’t available)
Better view of the wing. Probably going to try water to start. Nervous about using chemicals, but little fella has to survive rain, so he should be able to get wet without issue
Tried tweezers and water, to no avail
He clearly trusts me, but don't know how to help him
Tried damp paper towel and that didn't work.
GM suggested to give him an hour or two to recover from the trauma and then try again with a damp q-tip
Cleared off most of the web from the bottom of his wing. Making progress on the middle of his wing where it’s crimped.
Finished cleaning the web
He’s still chilling on my hand. Waiting for him to do a test flight
Letting him stay the night to recover
He won't leave me alone now; guess I found a new work buddy for the time being
Tried sugar water & grapefruit yesterday. Tried veggies last night. Tried fresh leaves this morning
Since it's a bear market, PVP conditions are at an ATH and @CapswanApp is selling NFTs, seems like the perfect time to dunk on NFT's (and by association, my company)
Vast majority of NFT's derive their value from a combination of affiliation (social belonging), liquidity and unit bias. Love the technology, but dislike the liquidity effects that arise from a discrete supply. People dumping divisible tokens into non-divisible tokens.
Utility is rarely anywhere to be found. Part of the reason it's rarely found is because people don't want it. They want to 10000x a steak dinner into lambos (well during the bull market anyway; during the bear it's more like 10000x snack money into rent)
