Handie & Red, you two are a scream!
Seriously, how BIG are these love bugs? Are they like gnats? Box Elder bugs? (talk about annoying... they're everywhere here) grasshopper size bugs? Please, please, please don't tell me they're bigger than grasshoppers.... I'm OK with little bugs, but big bugs drive me buggy.
Sandy, (you'll be saying EEEWWW) I don't mind spiders. They're working animals. They earn their keep. :2cool: I practice spider catch & release. We actually (here comes the eewwww part) had a tarantula in our bathroom right after we moved in. I was terrified (see the part about big bugs) but got it into a giant plastic ice cream tub, poked holes in the lid, and my husband gave it to his secretary for her son. The son kept the tarantula as a pet for years. And yes, the secretary was fine with that :yikes:
Does anything eat the love bugs? Do the lizards eat the bugs? (trying to stay on topic) Maybe we could encourage natural predators to take up residence... as long as the predators aren't too big. ;D
