King/Queen in the insect world. She can turn her head in all directions and will make eye contact with you - a very human-like quality. They are very beneficial in the garden and people friendly. I'll often move her to a new bush when she eats all the bugs. All they want to do is eat other bugs.

Yes I am Paul. Hubby is quirky in many ways. Looks a bit like a hells angel / rampaging Viking. Especially when on a motor bike!

I LOVE INSECTS PAUL, IT'S BEEN WITH ME ALL MY LIFE. I USED TO DRIVE MY MOTHER CRAZY WHEN I TOOK THEM INDOORS. ONE OF MY FAVOURITES ARE SPIDERS AND I LOVE DRAGONFLIES, SNAILS, LADYBIRDS, BUTTERFLIES ETC ETC ETC. I LIKE SNAKES AS WELL. DON'T FORGET I KEPT 2 HIVES OF BEES FOR A VERY LONG TIME TOO. WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT THE INSECTS THEY ARE PART OF THE CHAIN OF LIFE ON THIS EARTH.
