The Old Dog Presents: Amazing Creatures at My House

in #nature2 years ago

I'm always amazed at the variety of insects that one can find right at home! Have you ever examined them closely? Often times they look to me like prehistoric creatures. They are amazing and wonderful and if they were larger some of them would be downright terrifying!

I have a book for identifying birds and an App on my phone for identifying plants. I think that I should learn more about these creatures!

I saw this little scorpion crawling down our hallway! Don't worry it was smaller than a US ten cent piece!

I've no idea what this hard shelled many legged creature is!

What more can I say besides incredible! I wonder if he is proud of his long antennae?

This guy reminds me of a world war two airplane!

What About You?

  • What little creatures have you seen at your home?
  • Do you ever try and identify them using an App or a book?
  • Do you agree that many of us should learn more about the world around us?

Until next time,

Have you ever examined them closely?

Very closely. I punched/slapped mosquitoes on my arm/shoulder many times. :-D

For the love of God, destroy them all!!

That was my old game plan. Now I use unceremonious evictions!

They work almost as well! ;0)

I've not seen any scorpions around here and I don't want to! We do get some big spiders, but they are harmless. Lots of other little critters around.

I've only seen scorpions 3 times in all the years that I've been in Switzerland. They were all tiny and actually quite cool to see. I'm more creeped out by big spiders!

Oh I would not want to share the house with a scorpion! Yikes!
