They were a couple, but separated while I was trying to keep them from running away as I took a photo. I think I killed them. :( I put them in the freezer just for a couple of minutes to slow them down, but they looked beyond slowed down. I hope taking them back outside revived them. They look like a type of weevil, maybe a Bean Weevil?? They were about 2-3 millimetres long, if I remember. 3. This cute fellow looks like an inch worm to me, any idea which geometer it might be? It was only about an inch. 4. Here's my slug. I've only seen the usual brown ones, so thought this one was kind of neat. Maybe it was a half inch long at most. When I've got live bugs in the house, I forget about getting a ruler, but try to make a mental note of size. I take a picture and let them go. 5. This guy came in with some garden lettuce and other greens I gleaned from the yard. If I can remember: chickweed, English plantain, and lamb's quarter. (If I am stuck with weeds, might as well eat them, if they are edible. The variety of shapes make a neat looking salad.) This one had a big head and wasn't quite as cute as the inchworm. Maybe about an inch, too. Thank you for any help with identification. |
