my daughter who lives in Atlanta sent me a toad house. i have had toads and frogs galore this spring. she also sent a bag of bugs - ladybugs that is. she knows her mom.
the instructions w/the lady bugs was to put them in the fridge until early evening. included was a tiny bag of 'nectar' to be mixed & sprayed on the foliage where i release them. then it said to lightly spray the bugs w/a mix of coke & water that will "glue" their wings so they can't fly. that holds them there for awhile until they decide if they want to stay there before flying off. the "glue" quickly wears off. who would have guessed such a thing. :rose

:happy_flower Have a great b-day!

Lucky you to have all those little bug-eating friends! I have a hard time attracting toads up here because the ground is so dry in the summer.

BJ, do you have an online photo gallery account? Can you send photo's with your phone for someone else to see on their phone? Can you send something to someone's email box? I bet you can :).

I can send pictures to Photobucket because they gave me an email address. They go into "Mobile Uploads." Here is what Photobucket says, "You can send pictures from your mobile device to your Photobucket account by emailing them to the address shown in your account options page. This address will look like username.pin@uploads.photobucket.com."

I hope you have a wonderful year!

Steve
