Sadly...all of our nymphs died. :-( I can't figure out why, either. Re: It's so quiet...Lol, when they are big enough to eat ladybirds, I'll have Gabe send me some of his stockπππ Gabe, I promise to post pics if they get large enough, lol. Every single one died within hours of hatching, except two. They are cool, though. We usually have hundreds of nymphs in our field.Re: It's so quiet...In the meantime, in the Sweetpea household, we just hatched a mantis ootheca and have a jar of fruit flies to feed the two surviving nymphs, lol. While Gabe hopes to eradicate his home of pests, we invite them in, lol!Re: It's so quiet...πππ I never knew ladybugs could bite! We get tons of them in the house every year, but they don't bother me. Twice a year (fall and spring) they swarm. The flies, on the other hand, drive me nuts. Hasn't been as bad since the horses left next door.Re: It's so quiet... Gabe and I live in the same region and I can tell you it most assuredly is NOTgarment rendering season yet! It's a late spring, for sure. I usually hear peepers in our swamp by now and it's still quiet as can be when I step out at night. Gabe, you don't like ladybugs?! They're like, the most awesome, gentle bugs, ever! LOL! My daughter had a pet ladybug, "Scottlyn Rose" (the name we had picked out for our youngest, whom I was pregnant with at the time, had he been a she), when she was a toddler. We raised a bunch in a ladybug habitat kit that we had bought for her...and that one particular ladybug we kept after the others were released. Kept it for over a year! Fed her soaked raisins, etc. Now spiders...those I don't abide by. My youngest wants a pet tarantula. There's a CountryMax local to us that sells them. I try to be a good boy mom...and let them have their creepy pets (the oldest had a corn snake). But a tarantula? That's a big ol' pile of NOPE! Re: It's so quiet...It's because we're all afraid of running out of data... (Kidding! Sort of)Re: Happy Pi Day!!!!Let the record show...I did NOT have more pie last night. ... ... ... ... I had the last piece for breakfast!Re: Happy Pi Day!!!!I am not sure about our village, they might. But the county itself has a 4AM to 9PM policy, lol. Unless there's an emergency. It's kind of ridiculous because the N/S county roads need to be plowed constantly due to wind. I just moved our vehicle so he could park his pickup and it doesn't look like our road has been touched, even though they've been up and down all day.Re: Happy Pi Day!!!!Made it, lol! Truth be told, I'm a little too full of beans and franks myself, lol!Re: Happy Pi Day!!!!Oh heck no! Partially frozen is best! Why aren't we neighbors?! The young'un has finally finished his work, and his beans and franks, and is headed to the shower. Joe should be home around 9:15 (our county stops plowing at 9pm, lol). I *think I can hold out and not eat more pie! In the meantime, the other kids and I are watching BBC Earth. Any of you seen this show? It's horrible! The kids and I are screaming, lol. "RUN BABY IGUANAS! RUN!!!" These nature shows are not for the faint of heart!
