SE Florida. I was out watering my plants today and saw all these little spiderlings living in this web under some of my bromeliads.

The pictures aren't great, but they are tiny and have bodies.

I noticed the ones in direct sunlight seemed dead and shriveled, so I moved another plant by it to provide more shade.

So, what are these? What can I expect from them growing on my patio? I am generally very bug friendly, especially spiders, and don't mind them growing up and dispersing, but I also want to make sure I am not inviting problems by letting them stay.

Thanks!

Hello. Just a little background first (tldr at the end): I have a OnePlus Open foldable phone. The cases for this phone are pretty limited, and I want phone with hinge protection and a mag-ring on the back. There are a handful of options out there, but I've tried them and they've all broken on me.

I currently have a Nilkin case for it, which has lasted me a long time and is honestly a great case, except that the material it is made of, a Matte Finish Thermoplastic Polyurethane, doesnt seem to bond with adhesives well. I've tried superglue and E6000. The E6000 lasted a few days but eventually came off. It also made a mess on the back from where it squeezed out when I pressed the mag-ring. I was pretty deliberate with my application, but I'm not sure its even possible to do this without messing up the back a bit. Maybe painters tape?

Anyway, that's about the limit to my DIY knowledge, so I tried to bounce some ideas off claude, and without pasting the whole thing here, it recommended using a primer (specifically Loctite SF770) with a Flexible CA glue after cleaning and scuffing up the surface a bit.

It also mentioned forming a bond with MEK or THF Solvent, basically chemically melting it on.. which I like the sound of from a permanence standpoint, but it seems a bit intense.

Really, I'm here because I dont want to start fiddling with this based off the possible hallucinations of an AI when I can stop by the community here and see if there are any more reasonable steps I can employ first. I am pretty capable with projects like this as well as fairly determined to get a mag-ring attached to this case so I can use a specific kickstand/handle thing I have.

Really appreciate any advice! I'll be in and out of the thread today as I'm going to class soon but I'll pop in when I can.

tl;dr I want to attach a magring to my TPU phonecase. Tried E6000 and Super Glue with no luck. How can I do this and still have the case look somewhat clean?

I avoided Erratic Deck for the longest time, but man has it ever led to some crazy runs

The other day, I was flying south over the Everglades and was lucky enough to nab this really nice shot of some limestone quarries out there. I had no idea south Florida had a limestone industry

I'll never, ever get sick of this. Learning to fly has to have been one of the most difficult and taxing things I've ever done, but it is also by and far the most rewarding. Days like this keep me going.

If you're struggling, keep at it and find the fun. Try to schedule a relaxing flight where you just explore or work on things you've already got down. If you're excelling, keep it up and share your knowledge. But most of all, be safe and have fun. Enjoy the skies and enjoy this opportunity that not many others will have.

Happy flying, y'all
