im not eating it but it dropped like a stone after giving me a nasty fright for a wee while

just a size 9 to finish the job ,

it wasnt hunting it was resisting home invasion but it was a stylish shot on a flying horror

uuugh

this seemed the best place to put this share of my traumas

Never seen so many enormous jaspers as we had here last year and a lot seem to have overwintered very successfully.

I'l bear your tip in mind.

if it was a huge wasp, could it have been a hornet?

It's probably just a queen wasp looking a bite to eat to feed her young. Judging by the number of plant munching pests about already I'll be glad of a helping hand from our waspy friends.

I think something is dead in the garage... each time I go in it a good half dozen big fat houseflies come out...

i tried to photo a new sort of spider a moment ago but it escaped

2 lentil body ,50mm leg span .didnt seem hostile but i will find out .it wasnt british afaik .tis hiding at the mo

a few months back i found a brown recluse outside my flat door and chucked it off the balcony which may be wrong but punk as ****

i recon warmer winters and international trade have changed the wildlife

fun round here ,urban is far more worrying than rural

If you've watched any of the 'Swamp People' programmes, then you'll understand what I mean, when I say in Troys best Cajun accent "Chooooot it Elizabett! Shooot it!"
