Good one, Sleuth, makes me think of something kind of Wild!

I understand that all creatures are here because they serve a niche in the eco system. (everybody eats everybody else).
HOWEVER, I do have a rule regarding bugs.....if you come into my space (house)....bad idea in your little bug brain! No way, no how are you welcome in my space. And I will retaliate with lethal force.
Sorry, it's either the cave man in me (or the girl!).
That is exactly what I got the product by Bayer. Chickens don't survive here. Too many dogs and coyotes. I would love to have some though. jmo
I am so horrible - the ugly ones die (not by my hand) but the "cute" ones (such as ladybugs) can live.
I do make hubby or someone else take them outside or squish them though. I can't do it myself - especially the murder part of it. I feel too guilty.
Yup - a Bug Zoo. Tis very popular with the tourists and a few of us locals
They have a super long tube that runs throughout the entire space, full of busy leaf cutter ants. And oh my, the roach motel has wee little tables and chairs, beds and rugs. So sweet :floorlaugh:
And they even let you handle many of the special ones, like the stick bugs :fence:
I would get mantid egg sacks, put them in a giant pickle jar until they hatched out. Then it was a mad rush to separate them (they're cannibals :shush: ) into aquariums with dividers. One sack can hatch about 100 itty bitty mantids so I would buy wingless fruitflies to feed them. When they got a little bigger, I (and kids) bred our own fruitflies, crickets etc and watched them grow to adulthood. Of course they didn't all survive but some I put out in the garden - they eat the bad bugs off your plants. I always kept a pair to mate for next season egg sac. So cool!
The female is about 5x the size of the male and she eats him after mating :scared: unless you're there to intervene of course :hiding:
They are very 'smart' and curious. We would take them out and walk them around the house and they would stay with us but when it was time for a feeding, they would fly back to their aquarium and wait patiently for their meal. They always ate the head off crickets first but left the drummies hehe.
(By the way, if you look at crickets with a magnifying glass, they appear to have lips LOL - no joke).
I'll hush myself now before I rave on too long :sigh:
No ****. I'll stay here at the beach with my cute little ants.
Can't wait for the next Jurassic Park movie, I'm kinda a dinomaniac. :blushing:
Juror No. 6 Diane Schwartz and alternate Juror No. 17 Tara Kelley have both made clear that they neither believed Jodi Arias story, nor did they ever see her show any kind of remorse in the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander. And they both agreed that she should have gotten the death penalty.
But on Monday night, Schwartz and Kelley returned to Dr. Drew On Call. They viewed pieces of video pertaining to the Arias case that they had never seen before, including the interrogation tapes where Arias' father was being questioned. Watch their reactions in the video player below.

Are you SURE about that? :floorlaugh:

I have a new pet cricket in our new house. He comes out in the kitchen in the evening..he's over there chirping away trying to get noticed. He seems to like the laundry room during the day. What should I name him? Tide?
This is my kind of chickens. They're Chinese Silkies, they don't fly and they're fuzzy like rabbits. They have a gene that prevents barbs from developing in their feathers so it feels like fur. If my laptop was up and running, I could post all the colors I raise. They are the BOMB as far as chickens! It's been one of my crazy "adventures" the last 23 years......I know, I go for the "strange" kind of critters!:blushing:

Nobody new really, and last night's episode was fairly tame. But they are definitely setting the stage for a spicy season... saw the clips for future shows and holy cr#p, they are full on beating the bejesus out of each other (Joe Gorga and Joe Guidice). Teresa is her usual nutball self. And there is going to be some good drama about Melissa... it appears that she may not be as sweet as we think... dun dun dun.... Yep, I'm roped in... like a moth to a flame with this garbage. :floorlaugh:
BTW, I don't watch the other housewives shows, just Jersey. I'm addicted to all things Jersey.
Yes .. whoever you are .. come and play with us :seeya:
