    Global warming, man. It's 67°F here right now. Stuffs blooming already, bugs flying around outside.

    I just did some research... wasps live 12-22 days and stop breeding in late summer making encountering them in winter highly unusual. Unless it is a queen. Guess they've for a year. Maybe I killed the queen. That just sounds so badass

    I thought that stuff responded to length of the day and not to temperature. Maybe not tho.

    Yeah I ain't really sure tbh. The bluebirds have been checking out their nesting box; that's triggered by serotonin levels in their brains which in turn is affected by sunlight. I just figured flowers blooming had more to do with the ground's temperature.

    I researched this, I think it was written for children lol: The adult praying mantis puts the egg case on a branch of a bush or a tree. The eggs survive through the winter in the egg case and then hatch when the weather gets warm in the spring. Many praying mantises die in the winter, but the eggs make it through and create all the new praying mantises each year.

    So it sounds like a mantis can and will be out during winter, but most of them die. See, I had a survivor in my home. :) a strong one, apex. I feel satisfied. Now I hope he doesn't die on the grass though but I figure he's a warrior.

    Or, it could have been a female too I'm not sure. Maybe she's on the prowl to rip some heads off :D it would probably make sense that a female mantis found the lesbian household. :p

    It's just precautionary. :) I can't afford infections in my eyes after corneal replacements. My first test seemed okay she isnt worried now my contact is out letting eyes rest and then see how they are under the lights.

    She wants to see me at the specialist on Thursday though.

    Ugh. I just wanted eye drops tbh not a bloody long visit here now I'm sitting blind waiting. :(

    I got a-wasted and I sat around the fire all day
    See if I could find some one to make love to
    And I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
    From the fabric of my being

    Inflammation. Only minimal contact lens use until check up Thursday. New eye drop to take. Off work until at least Friday.

    Gonna be a few blurry days now. :(

    I've always heard they are good luck and I know for a fact they kill aphids. Hopefully they will hang around until spring when everything is budding and aphids are sucking all of the buds and folliage down to nothing...you will have something good to combat them with.

    I would say my living room is safe from aphids then. :grinning:
