Last night when I was out making my rounds, I came across several additional large slugs amongst my brugmansia seedlings. Now I know why the slugs are so large.  Not only are they eating my Angel Trumpets, they are eating the fertilizer I recently applied as well!!!Finding so many large slugs in such a short period of time convinced me that I need to resort to chemical warfare if I am going to get them under control.  While I was at the growers supply store today I purchased some ...

How disgusting, two of the most hated creatures in my nursery are teaming up once again to eat all my Angel Trumpets!  Thank goodness I had my trusty scissors with me, and thank goodness that they do not regenerate when cut in half.  When the slugs get to be larger than my thumb like the one below, it's time to bring out the slug bait!  Perfect timing too, it will be their Thanksgiving dinner!  

This friendly wolf spider sort of makes you think twice before you grab an empty pot.Looks like remnants of his lunch is on the bottom.

If only I was bigger I would bite your head off you stupid human... (bug talking)My final Friday the 13th post for today!

That's what this dragon fly was thinking while he was munching on this honey bee!Remember, it's Friday the 13th so all my posts will be scary today.  :)

Oops, forgot to mention that I'm referencing Banana Spiders, not the fruit!  :)These guys can get almost as big as your hand with nylon-like webbing.

These moths are gearing up for another feeding frenzy.  Even though we're still experiencing record heat, plenty of open blooms are available for them to feed on.I need to study up on moths so I can ID the ones I encounter. 

Meet the scourge of my garden, the slug! I have been at war with these guys all summer...a war I doubt I'll win.  When I go out to explore my plants at night I always have a camera in one pocket and a scissors in the other.  This poor guy got to experience both!
