I Is For Insects~ All About Me From A to Z ~ Blogging From A to Z April Challenge

I’m sure after this blog post some of you will think I am a bit crazy, but I don’t like killing insects. it really bothers me. I see bugs as living things. Most of them aren’t trying to bother you, they are just doing what ever bugs do. And sometimes that means getting into your house.

When an insect finds its way into my home, I catch and release. I use a small paper cup and it put it over the bug, then slowly and carefully slide a piece of cardboard underneath. After, I take it outside and let it go.

Amazon actually sells a few humane insect catch and release tools. They are mostly for teaching kids about insects. I’m thinking of purchasing this one – Carson BugView Quick-Release Bug Catching Tool and Magnifier for Spider, Children and Adults, green, one size (HU-10)

Also known as Ms57Classic I came into this world on a summer morning on July 22, 1957. Newborn babies usually do not cry real tears at birth because their tear ducts have not formed yet. But I cried real tears! I have been through many things in my life and have dealt with a multitude of situations and emotions. I have been married and divorced twice. I am an ex-navy wife. I am a mom, a Grammie of 8 (so far), a sister, an aunt, and a friend of longevity. I have a son and a son-in-law in the US Navy and am very proud of their job decision and their accomplishments. My job as a mother is FOREVER. It will not stop when a child of mine reaches the age of 18! I have always been well liked, but not liked by all. I can stretch a dollar like it’s a rubber band. I like the person I am. I graduated from a writing school. I am in the process of writing a book. I graduated from University of Phoenix at the age of 56 with an associate’s degree in Art. I am disabled, having a multitude of health issues. I had a corneal transplant and since then have become an advocate for organ and tissue donation. One of my hobbies is finding those who share the exact birthday as me – July 22, 1957. There is much more ABOUT ME but I guess you will have to follow my blog if you’d like to find these things out : )

  1. I am afraid I do tend to discriminate between those insects and other creatures who are carted outside and those who meet with sudden death. Cockroaches most definitely are eliminated as are ants and flies. I will return a bee to the outdoors and also a huntsman spider but black house spiders and daddy long legs do not survive. We also have lizards (I know, not insects) come in for a visit and I encourage them out the door. Wasps are also not welcome inside or out. I do try to use a fly swatter rather than spray but sometimes it has to be the latter, especially if a lone mosquito is buzzing around at night.

  3. I like a lot of insects and spiders and bugs (I actually REALLY like crickets and grasshoppers), but not all of them. I don’t like scorpions, fire ants, or aggressive wasps. They all sting!
