Well I haven't seen the black w/yellow spot variety in a long time.... probably since I posted about about them, but almost stepped on this tiny dude tonight.

I'm not calling this a bad decision or anything, but what is your reason for not spraying?

Man, you're lucky those things don't make noise. You'd never get sleep.

Another recent addition to the close-ups: an engine lift.

I didn't realize there were so many. They were mostly confined to the unfinished cellar, where we don't spend much time, so they don't bug me that much. Every few weeks, a rogue would make it upstairs, which did bother me. But other than that, out of sight, out of mind. I'm not afraid of poison, but would rather not spray it around unless I really need to. And finally, poison isn't really a DIY job, and calling in a pro is relatively expensive. I'm cheap.

The infestation looks really horrible, because a glue trap concentrates all the bugs in one tiny area. When you go down into the cellar, you might see a bug or two, but are equally likely to see none. It really doesn't appear that bad.

The traps seem to be working.

Now, crickets may be creepy and lizards may be cute, but which would you rather have poop in your laundry?

These little guys sure were hard to get pics of, but I kinda like some of the blurry ones...

I like the frogs, jinx. So tiny. How did you find them? They look like they would blend right in with the ground.

glatt · 06-20-2006, 02:35 PM

I recently stumbled across this old one. My son's eyelashes seemed so long to me. Maybe it was just the light and angle.

It took me 3 days to get the pics (forgot the camera, then brought the camera but forgot the memory stick) and they got a little harder to find each day, but we just sat and waited for them to move... and suddenly they were everywhere.

Those eyelashes are long! That's a cool shot.

I totally want a terrarium filled with those little baby toads!! A-freaking-dorable. And, they wouldn't make me sneeze...any idea on an ID? Local nature center could help if you bring those great pics. Neat!!
