Bad luck Satay, hopefully you should get some in the rest of this week, with the showers hanging around. We got an inch in a downpour again. Lucky we don't need topsoil.

An inch is great rain rexy.

Oh don't laugh, I am petrified of praying mantis, thanks to my brother who used to put them in my hair
I see a praying mantis and I freeze and hope it doesn't see me run

An inch is great rain rexy.

I just wish it would come in normal rain, not in 20 minutes. I live on a very slopey block, all the dirt runs to the bottom of the hill, when it is dry.

Also having trouble with my internet, using phone hot spot at the moment.

Ate the first of our naughty cockerels last night. Tasted good.

Good chick photos, sorry about the snake, Syd. Glad I haven't seen my big coastal for a while.

We are the same rexy. Sloping blocks are a pain in heavy rain. Our place looked like Niagara falls during the floods.

You and hubby would make a great team then. Funniest thing i remember seeing as a kid was my grandfather who was some 6"3 in height was terrified of moths. Not sure why but he really hated them

I hate moths too! It's the texture of them and the way they flutter and brush against you .. eeeew, creepy! Have you every looked at one close up? Evil looking things; they could star in a horror movie!

But worse than moths, Christmas Beetles ... mega eeeew ... I hate them, luckily my girls love them with a side serve of lettuce!

I don't feel so bad now with my grasshopper fear. Glad others are as similar too.

Lol this one was the size of a small saucer plate. The little huntsmans and daddy long legs legs are ok but I can't stand wolf spiders white tips funnels or very big huntsmans. We catch the hunters and let them go in the plum tree. The wolf spider last night died. Sorry Lucus but I can't have it in my boys rooms!

hahah, the bigger the better!!
I have never seen wolf spiders are they poisonous?
I agree with getting rid of or killing funnel webs if they are in the home. We have had a few. They are as black as night it's crazy and their fangs are really as big as they show on tv, I like them...well apart from the fact that they can kill you

.

LOL I'd fumigate ! I was never scared of them till I was bitten. Then took two months to fully recover.

What where you bitten by?
Ive been bit several times, though only by huntsman.
