I gotta tell you this story on me, and the reason I'm telling it is twofold....#1. because it's funny.   And #2. because I want you pranksters to know that I'm too aware of things to fall for it.  😁. 

I got a small box in the mail awhile back, something very light was inside rattling around and I didn't recognize the name from which it came from.    I just knew that it was one of my OAF haters, and that they had gifted me a bigass wolf spider.   🤬

I took it out in the middle of the driveway and opened it with a garden rake and a machete, and took a full can of carb cleaner with me.  

Turned out to be an ignition key, a business card, and a note 😅   Somebody had dropped off a boat and forgot to leave the key.    

 

Spiders love bee equipment.

What do you suppose is the ecological benefit of dead & decaying insects? 

Fertilizer? 

Crude? 

Why does there have to be SO MANY of them? 🤔. 

 

The only reason that people aren't blaming all their little ailments on DEAD INSECT DUST is because they simply haven't thought of it yet. 🙄. Just wait !    During a huge cicada hatch the smell in the air is nauseating.

"Oh my, everytime it's dry and the breeze kicks up my ant corpse allergies just immobilize me".  😝 

Speaking of ant corpses..... y'all should see all the Ant Lion funnels under my wife's hummingbird feeders.     The circle of life.

Doodle Bug, Doodle Bug, your house is on fire.  Always gets them to move.  Sense vibration.

So you're telling me that the vibration of a fat ant full of sugar water, hitting the ground........draws in the Ant Lions ? 

GTFOH!  😂

Probably the loose dirt that they build in.

Dad filled the barn main part with sand from the creek, Doodle Bug cones are all around.  They morph into a little damselfly looking lacefly.  Lots of spiders in that barn.  Maybe they are genetically trained to look for spiders that feed on ants.

Does anybody remember when people in the cities were falling ill because of the dried pigeon poop on the buildings?  

How was THAT situation rectified?    Are there less pigeons now.....or did people just become immune to it ? 

 

Does nobody else realize how full of $#!t people are, as a whole?  🤔

How about the masses of blackbirds that spread histaplasmosis back in the 70's?  Remember the cannon volleys to run them out at dark in towns.

I love me some spiders and reptiles... never understood the fear of them.  I do dispatch recluses inside and one year I killed a black widow on the kids swing set one but I try to let most live...

Just give them a little belly rub and they'll be your friend.  Here's a little guy hanging out with me a bunch of years ago
