Ok, so I admit, I have killed my fair share of insects. I'm ok if they're enjoying the outdoors, but I'd rather not share a bedroom/bathroom or anything else with them....So we've had a few incidences (pre- the wonderful people at ENTEC spraying our house and lawn down) where we've had a few screams. But alas, what would we have done without those brave souls (namly Tracy) that were able to save us all, dustpan/broom/papertowel in hand. So I don't mind the amount we pay to get our house hosed down...
Cuddly things I love....Even rodents that some tend to think of as a nuisance: mice, squirrels etc. And I even love the possum we use to see in our back yard. I wonder where she is off to now...perhaps vacationing in Barcelona?
As for reptiles...I can't really say, I guess I'm up in the air about it. I don't hate them by any means, but I don't love them. They are a necessary part of our ecosystems. (OK, so are the insects but...yuk...) And I have taken a very strong liking to Mortemer the toad that comes out of hiding in the rainy season by our front door as well as the snails around that time of year (pic is of one on our porch railing). Sadly, I think the snails dissapear after the ENTEC guy stops by......
As an aside: The prof at Kentucky that could potentially be my advisor was wearing a shirt that said at the top "Homeland Security" Then had a painting of some Native Americans on horses. Then underneath that it said "Fighting Terrorism since 1492". Some food for thought.....
