Was looking at boot dryers after camping last weekend. Decided to just buy some tubing and use what I had around instead. What I had around was a box and the HVAC register in the floor. Behold my genius.
A pair of logger boots on either side of a cardboard box. The cardboard box has a pair of black hoses running into the boots. So thrifty!

Two for one scutigera, and another rabid wolf spider, and I found a cicada exuviae (on a tree outside). The latter to be added to my collection of skulls and bones and etc.

Before and after from the first wash of the season! Nothing more than some detail spray after. Gonna need a whole day to do the claying etc since I didn't do that last year (Pontiac was living in the garage).
Before wash. After wash.

Rescued a small beetle friend from the lab today. Some sort of Carabidae I think? Maybe?
