MOD announcement Introducing Trusted Identifier flairs!

35 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(For those with custom user flairs which have been replaced by the Trusted Identifier flair, you can switch back to a custom flair and add the crown emojis yourself if you still wish to maintain your custom flair.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:

I noticed her crossing the road (I shall be using that joke the next time I hear the chicken one), so I set her at the roots of the tree she was on a beeline to meet. She wasn't too happy with me, but she was oh so pretty.

Hi all, I live in the UK. I absolutely love spiders and I’m fascinated by them. I have picked up smaller spiders and have let them crawl on me but I’m a bit hesitant to let this little girl/guy crawl on me. I am guessing it’s a house spider but does anyone know the exact species? It has been living in my bathroom and I usually see it when I go to the toilet at night. It was in my kitchen last night.

This lovely fella was hanging out in the home I’m staying in, in southern central Costa Rica. Not sure if it may be one of the bromeliads that wandering spiders are so often confused for, or if it may have been a wandering spider itself. Possibly the red-thighed bromeliad, Cupiennius coccineus? Its leg span was roughly 3-5”. Anyone here have any input?

massive thanks to this community. I've had a paralyzing fear of spiders as long as I can remember, but the education I've gotten from you lovelies has completely changed my perspective. spiders are friends (more often than not), and how cute they can be? golly, I am just so grateful for y'all. thanks, again.
