We managed to persuade it to go outside, well actually, DH did that while I was rushing to find the heavy-duty poisonous chemicals. I'm not very 'green' these days. Fortunately neither it nor any of its family have re-appeared in the house although lots of other nasty things of various sizes have. Aussie fly-spray kills most of them and, as country living comes at a cost, a tin of it now resides in every room. Outside in the garden, the assorted insect species are safe - as long as they can hide from the plentiful bird-life hee-hee!sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686467686335484826.post-83142528474788938322008-08-17T16:27:00.000-07:002008-08-17T16:27:00.000-07:00'But then I spot that today there is a very good w...'But then I spot that today there is a very good workshop on insects over at a local country park. The wardens there are excellent and can tell us all about Carabus violaceus'<BR/><BR/>Sod that! Last night I saw a Tegenaria duellica up close and personal, however, there were no excellent wardens in sight when it landed on my pillow at six in the morning and I can't believe that Mr W did not notice it on the way out! You can probably tell that the Tegenaria duellica in question has made a lasting impression.Elibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381833727537693336noreply@blogger.com
