Ack.... "1000 legs" reminds me of centipedes and millipedes. Oh
yucky, I *really* hate those things. They are horrible and when you
hit them with a shoe to kill them, some of their legs continue to
move. {{shutter}} *runs off to find a LARGE shoe just in case one
of those things shows up*

But I *do* like caterpillars... soft and fuzzy, inching along. We
have the brown ones with a black stripe in the middle (around the
belly section), pale yellow ones, and white ones occasionally. Not
wild about the green ones with no fuzz (they're kind of scarey
looking)... aren't they cabbage or tomato caterpillars? 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*

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"!

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

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?

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}}}

*shrug*

the brown & black ones are called Wooly Bears. they actually
turn into a moth.
small smooth green caterpillers are Cabbage Loopers & the
huge ones are either Tomato or Tobacco Hornworms. i always
plant extra tomatos for the hornworms.
the Monarch caterpillers will only be found on milkweed & are
smooth (no fuzz) with black, white & yellow stripes. they have
'horns' on thier heads & tails.
my kid is allergic to Wooly Bears...

Cool information, Lee. 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. )
