Wondering round the house and I sometimes (not often) come across extra visitors

 

do you?

 

 

Last week I saw a silverfish in the bathroom, has since been caught and released into the wild.

 

Tonight found a wood louse, that too has just been wilded.

Apart from moths in my wallet, the most frequent visitors by far have been mosquitoes and bumble bees...the bees get better treatment than the mosquitoes!

 

And the peacock butterfly is also welcome...

Don't really mind 'em, but my ol' man used to regale me with tales of the slum terrace him and me ma lived in twixt the war and my birth that was so badly infested with cockroaches that the carpet seemed to be moving.  It's the in-laws I can do without.

Seen plenty of those in previous homes and still see one or two here, in the bathroom. What are they - insects or arachnids? Never been bothered to catch one of the mercurial blighters to find out...

Funny how all the Crane flies of earlier have now sugared off? Not usually seen until late Aug or Sept?

Yes same here, was a surprise to see them out so early in the season, but does that mean we may yet get a second run of them?

Good question..only seem to remember getting one run?Pesky blue bottles etc are a right pain in the butt, they obviously don't like the rain..

Agree about blue bottles, like that huge one in here the other day, I swear it had "Airbus" written on the side.

Mozzies get the electric tennis raquet treatment at my domain. Moths, stay untill I find them on their back on a windowsill. Bees, get a stay of exicution and are released. Rats, mice, voles die a horrific death at the hands of my Bengal - Siamease cross cat (Sylvester)
