Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior . God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️❤❤😊

As a jarologist I can confirm this is a very jary jar

I used to have a toe biter as a pet. She was significantly larger than the one in your video. I finally released her when I moved away from where I had found her. So I put her back in her lake.

They are capable of flying, so unless you want it flying around your house, put a screen too on the tank (or release it back into the pond) And yes, their bites (well, injection of a venom that breaks down tissue into a fluid, which it then drinks) are quite painful, think of a Yellowjacket sting, on fire…

Y'all really don't know what a mosquito larva is huh? That's a midgefly not a mosquito, they're also called bloodworms and ik this because they're a common frozen fish food and loved by corydoras fish. They're completely harmless and I don't think the adults even have mouthparts

I learned all my "put pond water in a bottle skills" from you. Thanks again!

OH YES water scorpion finally!! I love the habitat you made for him. They indeed should have some surface area, but you can also keep them in a small water level. I managed to have two for a year. Water quality isn't really an important factor, althrough it's easier to observe them in a cleaner water. Sand is perfect for them. They love to hide in it.
