And unfortunately some folks are wearing them

I wore cicada exoskeletons in my hair as a joke during a homecoming theme day back in high school.

It being the early 1990s, most girls wore their hair permed up really big. I didn't have a perm and bear-claw bangs, but I set my hair the night before for the effect, and then strategically placed dessicated cicada exoskeletons throughout my enormous mallrat hairdo

Let it be known that I made a name for myself that day. [/b][/quote]
hahahahah! you rule

Thanks, Brian!

I have never salted slugs...firstly, it is cruel. I mean, yeah, they are disgusting and destructive, but still...I would rather just stomp 'em flat--a quick and merciful end. Secondly, salt is really bad for the plants.

There are anti-slug pellets you can put down to poison them if you have really, really bad slug problems, but I don't have them too bad.

My aversion to cockroaches came about after having lived in a truly sh*tty apartment building once, which had a major infestation. Now, if I see anything scuttling, brown, and almond-shaped, with whiplike antennae, I get into killkillkill mode. It is kind of demoralizing to share your living quarters with a bunch of goddamn roaches.

What an unusual thread to find in this forum. I like it!

Salting slugs is kind of slow and I've seen bigger ones escape and survive. The best thing to do is go out on a drizzly day with an old pair of scissors and snip, snip, snip. B)

Oh I really like their wings! Are they very big?

The worst we get in the UK are Hornets (horsefly!?) and Wasps.
I used to sit out in the front garden when I was younger and watch the ants crawling up the tree, then wash them back down with a jug of water (cruel child I know), I also dug up an ant hole one time to see what was happenin' down there...found loada little pupae, I used to keep caterpillars and spiders in pots and jars thinking I was taking care of them only to find them dead or dying in the morning

And as always the mean boys in the street would be burning ants with magnifying glasses oh to be a child again
