Gathering of the Figments

Ok, so i had a humane mouse trap out in the garage, just in case, ya know, and anyway, when i went to check on it, there were like SIX cockroaches inside and one half in and half out... Anyway, i released the six, but i did that outside, and i wanted to go to the light to get the one that was wedged between the bars out...

And as i went to go back inside and do this, one of the cockroaches ran at my foot, so i jumped back and raced inside... and then i noticed that the wedge cockroach had gotten caught on the little wire thing that holds the trap down, and the last bit of it... i guess you would call it its bum... became seperated, but was still attached to the insides... there was white oozey stuff in the very tail of it, and then that was attached to something that was like a milky coffee brown colour, and that bit was still intact... and it was still alive and wriggling...

I just thought you ought to know... Embarassed

Do you think they feel pain when their exo-skeleton is broken??? Embarassed

Those Spanish are nuts...

Our anti-cockroach device is the very un-humane bug sprays...
Insects and Cane toads are the two forms of animal I don't mind killing. The rest I will not harm...

Cane toads are fun! so long as you have something of a long stick, either with a pointy end or an end like a hockey stick... Very Happy

we used to enjoy seeing who could get them the highest and the furtherest over the back fence... good times... *sigh*

Im happy that at least one person beleives that not all insects should be killed. I only kill cane toads, and cockroaches, spiders, mozzies and any march or horse fly that thinks it has a chance of eating my leg.

Insects - I'd kill. I wouldn't eat them, though.

Haha. Spanish nuts.
