The property is looooong and skinny. While the fence would cost the same for a wider shorter piece of land, a road from one end to the other would cost a fortune!

Unbelievable! I'd freeze to death up there in the middle of summer! Forget winter lol

Lol, this is a typical unfinished basement up here (not the farm house obviously). My gallery is being stupid and won't let me upload a picture so hopefully this works. https://www.google.com/search?q=unf..._AUIEigB&biw=601&bih=962#imgrc=f8kazVz983jLgM: Usualy they're covered in cobwebs with spiders and centipedes lurking. And most unfinished basements gain a small, indoor stream when it rains heavily.

I really like the one with the arch....

Okay, the indoor stream would be a problem, do centipedes bite? Is it worse than a mosquito or fire ant?

Yes centipedes can bite. We have a huge centipede on our property...orange headed almost black bodied with yellow legs and back antennae. It can grow to 12 inches bigger around than a pencil. The sting is like a wasp.

Thanks, but no thanks I'll take what we have here, thank you very much. 12 inches that's a foot long centipede!!

It was me I've got the stink bugs. I'd trade all the little stinkin sobs for ladybugs any day of the week! They're absolutely everywhere, and I've got nothing against them personally I'm just really tired of seeing, hearing and smelling them.

Who was it that brought up stink bugs this morning? After our freeze for the last three days and today's temp of 77, the lady bugs hatched. Thousands of them swarming the deck right now.

That would be Killah

Btw...how is Poop boy?

Kiki, poop boy is doing fine. His grandpa and me took him to the mall for trick or treat and to boo in the zoo.It was just us two cause everyone else had the flu.....omg I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Well, I've had the stink bugs for the last few weeks, apparently the frost killed them off and now I've got lady bugs, oh and these lady bugs bite.

 

[Chickassan]

Ladybugs bite here too,but I'd still rather get bit than have stinkbugs. We had a heavy frost but it didn't kill them because apparently they're all living with me. They land on me, crash in my coffee, i accidentally baked one yesterday they've worn out their welcome.

Let me guess. The chickens don't eat the stink bugs or the biting lady bugs. Mine will eat the fire ants if I expose the larvae, but generally don't disturb the hill without me?

What breed will eat fire ants? That would be good to know.

these lady bugs bite

I never knew that ladybugs bit I thought they just spit up yellow junk on you.

 

[rjohns39]

The stink bugs never really went around the pasture. The lady bugs create great chicken TV. They fly about 2 feet above the chickens' heads and the chickens try with little success.

I don't think these are really lady bugs, they just look like them, but are some sort of beetle. TDA brought them here a few years ago to help with aphids.

Please tell us you didn't eat it like people eat chocolate covered ants and fried grasshoppers.
