First Annual Picnic in the Park Bug House – Part 2

We’ve managed to wrangle some more slithery, creepy, crawly, flying critters for you to check out.

George the Lad called this a ladybird.  Here in the states we would call it a ladybug.

Bert sent in this creepy crawler.  You can learn the story behind it here.

Honey & Muesli wanted to submit their Auzzie entries.  Muesli caught this cockroach all by herself.

Here is Honey with her finds!

Australian Huntsman Spider

That Honey is one brave girl!  Honey’s person Hsin-Yi says these lizards grow as big as me, Oskar!

Winnie found herself some fine specimens.

From Blu we have these submissions.

Shawnee sent this cool pair of pics.

Sarge sent in a great array of bugs for us to see!

New Rabbit Friend

This is my new rabbit friend.

We’ll call him stew, um I mean Stu.  Stu looks very tasty friendly.  No, stew Stu, don’t leave!

My mom person has been in the hostpital again for tummy troubles, so we’ll be trying to get caught up soon.

Spring?

Here in Michigan in the spring it’s either 100 degrees or 55 degrees.  Mother Nature is not paying attention.  Maybe she’s bored.  Anyway this is my response to our 55 degress with thunder-storms day.

You’re comments on my toad post yesterday were most informative.  I have to admit that I know in my heart that putting toads in my mouth will make me miserable, but my schnazuer drive to conquer any land creature that I can find is much more powerful!  I must have toads!

You should stop by the Portuguese Water Blog today and check out their green bandana project!

Toads!

In this picture, I may or may not be looking for a toad to lick.

Below, my mom person, may or may not be telling me that when I lick toads I foam at the mouth & throw up on my woozle.

Naturally, I may or may not be telling her that toads are delicious & live only for me to lick them.

I may or may not have been grounded and made to come inside!

I may or may not be talking to some people this afternoon!

Pee-s: Apparantly my friend & Blogville Mayor Franke Furter Price has beaten the toad licking addiction.
