It's been 19 days since I've seen anymore clothes moths, either the park has eradicated the varmints or something else has happened to them.. :)

It's climate change Vic!
Yeah that's it, climate change.....

I found a very large insect in my home on Wednesday morning. It didn't move anymore so I thought it was dead. I put it in the sink and when I got home from work I poured some beer over it (LOL). An hour after that it flew around as though nothing happened. Now who says that beer isn't a miracle worker? :))

An exciting bug find in my back yard just now. I saw one of the cats pawing
at it and had to go see what it was. It's a beauty, but I'm afraid it isn't
going to fly again. Dammmit.

Does anyone know what this is? Some sort of dragonfly or damselfly, maybe?

I've looked it up and I think it's some sort of Robber Fly.

That pointy think sure looks scary!

It's not like I like insects, I like insects as long as they are outside, inside there is nothing here for them, they die here and I've caught a few and released a few outside, unharmed. I did earn that merit badge in Environmental Science afterall, that took days to pass. Unlike First aid and Cooking, those were easy and I was only 12 then.

GACK!

Sorry, but if I see that outside my house, I'm avoiding it. I see it inside, I'm squishing it.

Well for the last 2 to 4 weeks I've not seen any moths or any small black bugs, maybe it's the hot air, the trap for the clothes moths is for males and the last ones I got rid of were female(they weren't in the trap), so maybe there aren't anymore males, since I've not seen any of those in close to 2 months, not a one.

Is it possible to post videos here the
way we post images?


I once uploaded a video to photobucket and posted the [IMG] link here, worked as a charm.

My most recent unique visitor. Some version of a longhorn beetle,
approximately one inch long (not including those antennae, of
course). Found its way into my bedroom and was escorted outside
after the photo shoot.
