Yellow-spotted millipedes

Close up on the yellow-potted millipedes.

Some information on them [1]:

Ecology
Harpaphe haydeniana is an important part of the forest ecosystem, breaking down leaf litter and freeing its nutrients for other organisms.[3] It is commonly associated with redwood forests where many individuals may be found within a small area.[4] Immature millipedes feed on humus.

That is why I love to learn about the insects that I found around my gardens. In order to know their function to my gardens. 

Until then, let those yellow-spotted millipedes works their work diligently.

Shortening jeans with pinking shear

This is taken on the morning of 3 June 2024. Where I managed to shorten my newly bought jeans. I use pinking shear for it.

What I can see is by using this pinking shear, I have less fray. Where I can also take my time to sew the cut part.

Cloth edges that are unfinished will easily fray, the weave becoming undone and threads pulling out easily. The sawtooth pattern does not prevent the fraying but limits the length of the frayed thread and thus minimizes damage.[1]

I bought this pinking shear last September 2020. 

Until then, have fun in using pinking shear to cut your jeans.
