Airehead Posted July 1, 2022 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2022 What does its snout look like? They don’t usually bite. You sure don’t want them in your pantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share #10 Posted July 1, 2022 It's called a bombardier beetle. You want to get rid of as many as you can, because I saw a documentary about how bad a problem they can be if you let them reach adulthood. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted July 1, 2022 Share #14 Posted July 1, 2022 I've been hoping to see bees in my garden, the 12 tomato plants being loaded with flowers. No luck so far, but hopefully some of the small insects I see are helping with pollination. One site I researched says, "The pollen falls within the flower to pollinate itself. That doesn't mean insects and wind aren't important, though." That means different varieties planted close together may not cross-pollinate and make the seeds a different variety than the parent, but a few bucks every few years for true seeds if worth the precaution.

That was filmed on Sony Pictures while I was there. Ridiculous looking uniforms but I did see Denise Richards a few times on the lot. No drama with her or any of the cast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
