When I got home last night after my shopping trip, I noticed a creepy crawly on the wall above the house door. I have no idea what the creature was but it was brown and it looked like it had whiskers. It was on the bigger side and...

So Mom researched and wanted to try laurel leaves to be...

Today, walking back from the shed, I came across this insect trying to make his way across the gravel. I asked Vince to take a video as he was moving. We’ve seen them before but not often moving along like this one was.
