Aliens in my soil...

they don`t live in our area. ????? Black widows and scorpions, and vinegaroons which i never see them or scorpions anymore. Lots of BW`s in dark places.

wow, i cant believe my cicada guess [the 4th post] was actually right, with no pic.

hahahaha. well i just knew cicada was the biggest ugliest larvae i ever saw :p

You rock, p!

So do I need to find them in my lasagna bed and get them out or are they fine being in there?

They should be fine. Just be prepared for all the noise they make starting at dusk. They get LOUD!

I'd be wacking those suckers with the biggest shovel I could find. Yuck. I'm still having nightmares about this thread! LOL

Think they are bad now, wait til they shed. You will find their skins everywhere.

Not game to add any more ,
I keep getting Flamed .
I had some good Pics , Oh Well.

Ginger I wasn't flaming you. Just pointing out that you were missing an opportunity to further frighten Pinger by telling her it was a common insect. Especially with the wierd pictures and especially since you come from the country where most critters are poisonous or otherwise deadly.

Just wait until you've seen a Jerusalem Cricket...talk about UGLY !!! Although, they look cute compared to that Cicada.

Thought I would Just add this little fella .
His sting is 4 times worse than a wasp sting .
A Walking Work of Art .

So are you going to tell us what it is???

See there, Ginger just wants you to think you don't have aliens in you soil. The picture pretty much guarantees Ginger is working WITH the aliens.

Nanu Nanu .

Another view .

LOL Jeff....

And I liked your "other view" of the story... :)


And Grow_Jo...you really made me laugh...lol

These innocent looking little walking Antennae ,
Keep me in touch with all activities on Earth .

Ginger, that's actually kind of a pretty bug, though I guess the sting would not be nice.
Come on, there's got to be way worse creepies in Australia. I hardly slept a wink when I visited in 1998 for fear of funnel web spiders. And box jellyfish. And and and...

Jo. Did you ever watch Mork & Mindi ?

This guy Lived behind one of my paintings in the house .
They don`t build a Web . So are hard to find .
That is my house key in front of him .
We needed a Wheel Barrow to take him away .
They don`t have a natural enemy so they live a long and HAPPY life .
They have 8 Eyes , So it`s hard to sneak up on them .
They have been known to scare Garden Nomes to death .

Ginger
Eeek. Ummm, hard to find? Something that size??? Yikes. And when you got him outside, you gave him a stern lecture to stay out there, I hope. Yes, I remember Mork & Mindy - nanu nanu.

Hell...
I don't have any pictures but there are tons of black widows and brown recluse living in NC.
I saw 2 black widows last summer under some rocks by my water garden.

You are an aracna geek aren`t you?

hell , I try.
On 10 Acres of land there are a lot of Bugs and things .

I only have gophers and rabbits not much bug troubles. Occasionally I`ll get aphids. We have a lot of arsnic in the soil, I`ve been told. Gophers sure love arsnic. I spent the afternoon, taking rebar and poking it real deep looking for soft spots and then I poisoned them and pushed it in with the rebar so now I have blisters all over my hands. I tried shoving dog doo down some big deep holes too to see if that would scare them off.

freaky

I call dh sweetness sometimes, It is funny because he is not all that sweet sometimes. lol, he has a sweet side though. Any control of the alien population?

We are all working on an Irradiation program
to rid the World of them pesky critters .
Not sure if they are from Mars or Venus ???
I have heard they are ' FUN GUYS '

didn`t appear that way to me, good to hear though! Kell ever been here in the States?

Only through Panama canal.
On the way to Southampton Engerland .

Panama City was very scary in 1974 .
