I, too, have no regrets about swatting bugs that come inside - there's nothing worse than the big bumbing buzzing fly that runs into your lampshades when you're going to bed at night - but how sweet of your boy to "whisper him out"!<BR/><BR/>We sometimes get extraordinary large moths that we discover in the house in the mornings - they used to fascinate my son.

Yesterday I had to take a giant bumblebee outside. Normally I'm of the Satanic bug killer school as well, but this thing was huge and on the screen and I don't even like to think of the mess. Plus after the bird debacle we'd had earlier in the day, I thought it would be better to not kill anything else. So I put a jar over him, slid a Christmas card over the top and took him outside, buzzing VERY angrily the while, to set him free. I put the jar down, yanked the card off and fled back inside. I think I made an impression, but it may not have been the one I was intending.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-87239002576452791852008-04-25T06:50:00.000-07:002008-04-25T06:50:00.000-07:00I agree with you--it they stay out of my territory...I agree with you--it they stay out of my territory, they'll be just fine . . .Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-52626061220397065692008-04-25T06:46:00.000-07:002008-04-25T06:46:00.000-07:00ooooh, I hate the flies too (as well as the ants a...ooooh, I hate the flies too (as well as the ants and the wasps which seem to think our home is their home)!
