Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

European Paper Wasp
Not to be confused with a Yellow Jacket
which lacks the orange tipped antennae.

An antihistamine like Benadryl
can relieve that icky sick feeling
and calm the sting.

Also, aloe vera applied directly to the sting
can relieve the heat, pain and discomfort.

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

Carolina Stagmomantis Mantid
After you have sex one time
she has the decency to bite your head off immediately
instead of making you pay for it for decades.

An unidentified species of Tylobolus Spirobolid Millipede.

Re: The Last Gun You Bought

My gun and knife walls have been featured here before but I keep adding stuff and rearranging things. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AIL4fc_fpFKFYLuxG-tH5oGutv_c_Lnt2E4Eo6xFP05y72MzWOJGkEdsr2O_VbTF30ZtTQAD7W0RlbYoIMhXhvnz1xVWXdzgL3UiVz6raPp_zRlw9NTUMZqs=w2400 One might wonder why is there a Wo...

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

Last night at 10:30, Ginger was barking her snake alert bark. While I was trying to pound the Copperhead with the blunt end of a 1x2 stake Ginger picked it up and shook it, three times, before I could finish off the unlucky reptile and dispatch it to viper valhalla. Somehow, Ginger avoided being bit...

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

Carolina Sphinx Yellow-Striped Armyworm and Fall Armyworm Armyworms are dreaded here because they can reduce a pasture to nothing in a matter of days. This picture of a Fall Armyworm was taken September 2018. The characteristic inverted V on the head is clearly visible. https://lh3.googleusercontent...

Re: The Tactical Bottle Opener: Spyderco ClipiTool Standard

In my dogged pursuit of low carb beers, EIGHT Elite Light Lager came to my attention rivaling Michelob ultra with only 90 cal and 2.6 carbs. There was no mention of where it was brewed but the bottom of the carton bore a silhouette of Texas with a star about where I live. So it has to be a Texas bee...

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters

Years ago before I let my picture windows get dirty whenever a bird would fly into the glass and knock himself out I would put him on the picnic table away from the ants and dogs and see if he recovered. Several did, one or two did not. This Pine Warbler is almost completely recovered. https://lh3.g...

Since I quit washing my picture windows
I have had no bird strikes.
That's my excuse and I'm going to stick to it.
