They are not living things
Yeah, but they’re plants, and we mentioned “nothing that’s been living in recorded history”. That bit didn’t get added to the description, though…
Thoughts on Yugoboy’s lobster traps? They’re made of wood….Similarly torn about QueenBee’s screw in the wooden plank.
From the 3rd post in this thread (in reply to a question about shedded larval husks):
“In the theme forum thread, we talked about this, and the general concensus was along the lines of ‘things that obviously haven’t been alive anytime recently’. So, for example, a macro-style closeup of aged furniture wood or bone fossil would pass muster, but a macro dead leaf or leather (which would likely decompose in a shorter time) wouldn’t. Based on that, I don’t know that the larval shell would really fit, as it probably wouldn’t last a long time in the world before it was lost. “
Bold added by me. This post was in my mind when I selected my shot.
ok…there’s obviously conflicting things mentioned in the thread, but again, that stuff didn’t get added to the theme description, so I guess it’s up to the voters…
