solid vid. been learning alot from this dude. also got some trees from him recently.

didn't know about the "victory gardens movement":

Quote
Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit, and herb gardens planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany[1][2] during World War I and World War II. In the war time governments encouraged people to plant victory gardens not only to supplement their rations but also to boost morale

Quote
It was emphasized to American home front urbanites and suburbanites that the produce from their gardens would help to lower the price of vegetables needed by the US War Department to feed the troops, thus saving money that could be spent elsewhere on the military: "Our food is fighting," one US poster read.[15] By May 1943, there were 18 million victory gardens in the United States – 12 million in cities and 6 million on farms

long story short: moth was lifeless. i unraveled it's proboscis, which had life in it. so i stuck it in some honey water. about an hour later.. it "came back to life".

i mean i should just end it's misery, but i also kinda want to see if i can make it strong. it did lose a leg tho :/ back leg.. probably from malnutrition :< it can still move ok.

but yea last night, basically nursed this thing back to life for over an hour.. was pretty crazy. it's been doing good all day.. and i've been feeding it alot more.

what i learned is.. just need to put the honey-water in a paper towel, have it's tongue unraveled and dipped into it, and then just let it suck that sugar for as long as it can.

eeh.







video of it suckling honey-water out its proboscis:

the moth is crippled. wings were messed up because it didn't have anything to hang from when it came out of the dirt. really sucks.

i've been giving it water. haven't been able to feed it.

until now. just fed it. was quite the experience. it sucked the honey-water out of my hand for literally 10 minutes. he was relaxed, not trying to escape, just suckling this honey-water out of my hand. :wowthatwasnutswtf:

then the little doof rolled his tongue back around his arm.. so i had to help him unwind it and get his arm out.  :uhhhfacepalm:

bad photos but.. hard to take photos when doing this:

that big "wire ish thing" is his tongue (proboscis).

first photo was me adding more honey, but didn't have water in it .. so had to rush back over to the faucet to mix it with water.. it doesn't like pure honey. def prefer honey mixed with water.. that's what finally got it to unravel the proboscis.. well, that and i jammed the proboscis into it to get it sticky & entice him to eat. it worked.

i've tried giving it fresh cut flowers, honey in a sponge (some advice somewhere), honey in hand, honey on ground etc.. good old fashioned honey+water (& hunger?) out of palm did the trick.

bought a bunch of trees/plants recently.



these are more "normal" trees (got 2 x blue java banana, one for my dad & i):





these are more "rare", and some very powerful producers. got them from that guy whose vids I link alot (Pete from GreenDreamsFL):

red jabo, mulberry, sisso spinach, moringa, etc.. super excited about the sisso spinach. going to be able to propagate the absolute heck out of this thing apparently!

a walk around a local "forest", taking photos w/ google lens for tree/plant identification.



peach palm, edible, can propagate from seed or suckers:





rosary pea, evil, insanely lethal, 1 seed can kill a human:





zombie palm.. that's cool:





gomortega, if so: produces a large yellow sweet fruit:





psychotria nervosa, florida "wild coffee" <-- but not coffee, gives you headaches + no caffeine:





eagle fern .. hundreds or thousands of these in one spot, looks awesome .. here's just one:





coccothrinax miraguama. this has TONS of bees on it. was nuts. apparently this is going to be a big palm tree:





quercas incana. apparently this is going to be a big oak tree:





nageia nagi aka asian bayberry: (edible oils from berries/leaves potentially)





persian silk tree. this one was epic, felt like silk!!!!





seagrape:





african oil palm. the principal source of "palm oil", cool !





golden thryallis, intense yellow flowers from spring to frost:





manchineel aka "little apple of death" .. god damn. toxic as fuck fruit:

When ingested, the fruit is reportedly "pleasantly sweet" at first, with a subsequent "strange peppery feeling ... gradually progress[ing] to a burning, tearing sensation and tightness of the throat." Symptoms continue to worsen until the patient can "barely swallow solid food because of the excruciating pain and the feeling of a huge obstructing pharyngeal lump





strangler fig .. uh the info about strangler figs is kinda nuts.





devil's ivy:
