I discovered something pretty cool today. Pupa will flick when they feel they are under attack from wasps etc but what i noticed was that when one ladybird/bug pupa flicks the others in its area start doing it just seconds later too!   I figured this out because i thought they might like being...

  Oh i have a wasp. I just got back from a weeks holiday and only found 5-6 decent sized larvae, so who knows what happened to the other 40+ :'(   While i was watching my 5-6 on a plant still covered in aphids there was this little black thing running around and i was going to kill it but...

Does anyone know do we get parasitic wasps that pray on aphids in the UK and if they pray on the aphids will it affect my ladybird larvae?   I seem to have one attacking the aphids, it's tiny. All the aphids are making this strange shaking motion while the wasp is trying to sting them. This is...

So i was hoping there may be some breeders on here, maybe just some people who are knowledgeable on the topic or just have an interest in them, both in adult or larvae form.   I saw something i sure didn't expect tonight. Well if you are in to ladybirds/bugs i am sure you will be well aware on...

  Thanks. I totally agree, i like it to be that heat where you can taste all the other ingredients but still have a really nice hard kick to it. My family can't handle the heat the same as i can though. Stuff i think is medium they find very hot lol   Yes definitely like bolognese. It's pretty...
