Bug Convention
« on: July 26, 2011, 10:38:15 AM »
I have a lot of milkweed plants....and therefore a lot of milkweed bugs.  For the last several mornings I have seen this group gathered together on the leaves of this Peruvian Lily growing next to some milkweeds.  I didn't have any bug spray made up so I went inside to see what was available.  It came down to hair spray or Lysol......  I chose Lysol.  I like clean bugs.....

They may have liked it.  Looked to me like they were lifting their little arms and scrubbing their armpits while I was spraying them...... {:-P;;

I'm broke and can't afford to pay attention, so you might have to lend me an ear.
