[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 423166, member: 7948"] Um yeah - I'd have left you alone too. My daughter screams when she encounters any bug-like object. I nearly fell off my chair laughing the day she came home blazing mad because she'd discovered a cricket in her notebook when she opened it at school during class. Guess she and a couple girlfriends made a scene (standing on chairs, screaming, general hysteria) when it jumped out of the notebook into her lap. The (female)teacher was less than thrilled. Sadly, my daughter lives in a home regularly invaded by crickets in the winter and spring. The wetter the more the crickets. No matter what we do they get into everything. And we make a survey of the pool at least twice a day for frogs. Too bad you don't live here - sounds like you would have a great time. Our 1/3 acre urban home is adjacent to a 34 acre park that only has 8 acres developed and the rest is left wild. Next to that is a golf course and next to that is a small plane airport. So we have our own wildlife sanctuary in our backyard. 3 sets of nesting hawks including 2 Swainson's (rare/endangered), song birds coming and going on migration, woodpeckers, coons, several kinds of frogs, waterfowl in the winter when we have standing water. Heaven if you're a birder - which we're not but I suspect once we have the kids out of the house our free $$ will go toward binoculars, etc. and we will start our life lists. Patricia [/QUOTE]
