We name our spiders. We had a Japanese neighbor that said if you killed a spider in the morning you had bad luck. She would carry them outside.. I have done that as well.

Good morning Keef, The PT said if i played the piano everyday it would be better than any exercise he could give me. So the only problem is howard the poodle crys or howls... it is a bit distracting.. I am trying to stay positive.

 

[Keef]

Spider was in my hat when I put it on ---He bit me !--I now got a crater along my hairline where chunk died from the bite !--I'll never know what kind he was but he hurt me !
Notice the trend here ? --Scorpion bit me on the butt two different times !---Spider bit me on the head !--Yellow jacket wasps eat me up more than once !--Not a big bug fan !

 

[Keef]

One of those big cockroaches they got down here tried to get D.D.and she climbed me like a tree !--Cockroach died and I only got wounded !

I usually carry them outside as well. Yes they are predators and eat the bad bugs. Keef, glad the bbb is helping. We had a heck of a rain storm last night. I see 1 of the Queen palms is leaning toward the pool and some of the corrugated roofing over the patio came off. The Jack is thriving and getting better every day. My son and I are betting on the final weight. We will see soon.

Keef, use anything but PVC. It leaches. A stainless steel turkey baster is a good start, or anything glass.

Spiders? If I see 'em, they're dead. Arachnophobia is very real and I own it big time.

Snakes? They all get a free pass, even our one and only venomous snake, the massasauga. Only ran across a couple of them in my 60 years, and both were in Lapeer.
Back in the early 20th century, the farmers in Lapeer tried to raise cattle. Snake bites cow, cow dies. They started raising pigs. Snake bites pig, pig eats snake. Problem solved.

 

[Rosebud]

Did i ever tell you about the pig farmer in Oregon, than fell into the pig pen and they ATE HIM???? OMG

Umbra I just Call it Umbra's Blueberry Blast but whatever it's called it works well for me !--I've still got a piece of my boy Trips and the Queen Mother out those seed !-- I now got a couple Trips -x-T.E. plants in veg. !---One of T.E. parents was Snow Lotus who was a legendary mother !--I'm wondering if the T.E. might be too !-- U do know I'll be crossing the T.E.

[Keef]

Giggy and I grew up around plenty venomous snakes !--We got your copperhead , the cotton mouth water moccasin -- Something we called a ground rattler -- coral snakes --I feel like I forgot one Giggy !---

Unk got bit on the hand by a chicken snake when he was gathering eggs ---They put a wire turniquet on his arm so the poison would get to his heart !--Unk almost lost that arm and not from snake bite !

 

[Rosebud]

[mrcane]

[umbra]

When the cockroaches footsteps are loud enough to wake you out of a dead sleep, you know you've got a roach problem.

that is a small rattler but we have a ground rattler that is so small you can't hear them rattle but they can put you in a box.

Did i ever tell you about the pig farmer in Oregon, than fell into the pig pen and they ATE HIM???? OMG

i remember that he was a older man that had raised them for years.

Rose here in the south a pig pen is the best place to throw a body, its gone in 15 minutes and you don't even have to dig a hole. Morning OFC. Spiders don't really bother me, like keef I lost a chunk on the inside of my thigh to a brown recluse. I have a few pic of the garden, just stuck 6 more rooted clones from the cloner and my flower tent is way over full, heck so is veg....sad to have all the epic genes and have to veg them for months as they wait their turn to get cooked.


Palmetto bug:

The term “palmetto bug” is a general name commonly used to refer to several species of cockroaches in the southern U.S. and even some beetles. Other cockroach names are “waterbug” or “Croton bug.” Unfortunately, these names can lead to confusion and misidentification, since any moderate- to large-sized cockroaches and even beetles are often called these by the public. Since habits and control measures often are species-specific, it is best to consult a pest control professional who can properly identify the species and then select control measures.

A cockroach species commonly called a “palmetto bug” is the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). Adult American cockroaches are large and winged. Their coloration is dark brown with a cream-colored prothorax that has dark markings that resemble sunglasses. American cockroaches prefer damp conditions and often are found in sewers, woodpiles and mulch. They will fly to lights. This particular behavior is disconcerting for homeowners who encounter a large roach that flies near their face when entering doors with lights nearby in the evening. Another large species that may be called a “palmetto bug” is the smoky brown cockroach. The adults are a dark mahogany color and winged as well. They lack the sunglasses markings on the prothorax and are slightly smaller.
