Autumn 2022 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
James M replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Unless they are introduced by humans there aren’t a lot of deadly or venomous creatures that would arrive here. Different species of mosquitoes that carry diseases for example could arrive, in which case killing them would be a case of self preservation and defense. I for example have killed ticks that I have found (Lyme disease etc) -

Spider or crane fly? Crane flies don’t have mouth parts so they won’t bite you. I’ve been bitten by spiders before, still catch them and put them outside when I don’t want them around. Sorry it’s a real bug bear of mine. I work in conservation and so I see a lot of the attitudes towards wildlife that the general public have. I get that a lot of people are afraid of them but we really do need to learn to change our attitudes. -

Doesn’t mean you have to kill them on sight though! it just bugs me how we have this attitude. We need to get out of this mind set, especially as so many insects species are declining. -

I find it sad how we so easily kill harmless insects just because they inconvience us or we’re scared of them. -

Keep curtains and windows closed to prevent your house becoming a greenhouse. Should save you a few degrees. -

I rarely stray down south but as luck would have it I’m in East London tonight. Have seen a couple of very distant flashes.
