So our little friend is called Pappy, I like that!
Im not sure whether he is still there or not after this wierd weather today Rose.
Last week we were watching an indoor spider on its web, a big fly got stuck to it (and it was big), so Mr Spider came out for a look from behind his little nook… took one look at the size of the fly, and legged it! Im unsure whether it was the sheer size of the catch, or if he thought he’s come back later when it was a bit more dead, but it made us laugh!
Its the sort of thing that would look great on video. :lol:
it had probably gone back to practice with its weights to get its strength up
Ive just gone in kitchen to get buns out (I do other things besides post) and there was a fly buzzing near back door. I rolled up the first thing to hand and whacked it
It was still alive but dazed so i got it between two fingers and carried it to Sven
Sven wasnt quick enough and it escaped so i got it again and held it down while sven closed its mouth
Trouble is sven has about 15 mouths
does this mean i have to find another 14 flies????Rose
your photo of the moth was beautiful
It so strange we have so many beautiful creatures here and we never really know about them
we should start a thread
Roses thread of beautiful british creatures
Go girl
I’m waiting in anticipation xxxxif sven is a venus fly trap and you keep force feeding it youll kill it

I’m too embarassed now to tell you about the photos I took on my step ladder of butterflies on my Budlia tree! waaaaaa
I have a Budlea (spelling??) but we call it Butterfly Bush
I’ve yet to see a butterfly near it unfortunately
Maybe they dont like the estate I live on :?
I was only saying to my mum the other day how rare it is to see butterflies these days
and can you post pictured of the two beetles you mentioned
I was attacked by a large flying beetle thing about two years ago (no it wasn’t John Lennon with wings and a halo)
I discovered it was a May Beetle for obvious reasons
In America they call them June bugs7 August, 2008 at 3:46 pm #3600037 August, 2008 at 3:53 pm #360004Yes I read that Pete
I had to stop the children showing their friends by tapping it with a penI caught the fly and held it while it wiggled and then Sven slowly closed its mouth over it
I’m sure it smiled at meIt could give you a nasty bite

7 August, 2008 at 6:41 pm #3600087 August, 2008 at 7:49 pm #360009I actually dont mind wee insects at all,, :) I live near open woods so am used to them.. sheild bugs are forever hanging about and ants ! I felt guilty killing colonies of ants, so moved them with a well placed Jam jar..
They are as entitled to be here as we are !
