I can't remember what we used to call them, but we always used to think the brown and black ones were Monarch Butterfly caterpillars. *shrug* Gem OH! I think you are right! The fussy ones... I am not sur WHAT we call them... I think I would call it a "larve"! AUD ;-)) |

Hi Gem
Sorry if I'm a bit slack replying, have a huge charity thingy coming off tomorrow all day, that is sunday, so I've been busy labelling up raffles auctions etc.. No we don't have a prob with mossies,although we do get other flies like blue bottles, or big black ones that come in, I keep a sticky paper up at the windows, they pitch on that and can't get off of it...lol cheers...Cher "Matthew Hollands" wrote in message ... "Cher" wrote in message . uk... That's what I told Edward, but it freaked him a little bit, and I had adickens of a job to get him to keep his window open last summer..he was worried incase the ''bird'' came in..lol I told him, that he had just got lost a bit, he won't do it again, and anyway that was a night time bird not a daytime one, lol Awww, poor boy! I guess that might very well concern him. ) By the way, you don't use screens on your windows? Likely because you don't have to worry about moquitoes coming in and having a snack on you while you're sleeping, hmmm? My Mom told me that when she was growing up in Newfoundland they didn't use screens on their windows. I would have thought being by the sea that with or without mosquitoes there would at least be fish flies to contend with. *shrug* Katherine? I know you're in Labrador now, but didn't you also live on the island? Gem Who definitely does NOT like bugs (except dragonflies and butterflies, and I don't mind ladybugs too much either) most especially not the creepy-crawly ones! {{{shutter}}} |

Thank you! ) Now that you mention it I do remember seeing the Monarch caterpillars before, but not in years.... we used to live not too far from a creek where we weren't supposed to play (but how many kids ever do everything they're told?), so reading your description, that is where I have seen them before. ) Gem |
