How I dealt with one phobia

When I saw pictures of live worms for the birds on here I just cringed. You may have noticed I seldom comment on pictures of creepy bugs, worms etc. Cute ones like butterflies are the exception. But when I saw dried mealworms at Wild Birds Unlimited I thought I could handle those. I have been commenting with @jyokota about bread and feeding birds. So I thought about making a picture of my dried worms and I can post in the camera club for my Phobia photo. I got this new dish for the worms and clean this out in no time. Fun watching the feelings sit on the edge and not realize they can just bend over and feed themselves. THey have learned now.
@jyokota here are the dried Mealworms I told you about.

Oh, JOan! What an artistic presentation! Hardly seems to be a phobia when presented this nicely. Now I'm waiting to see your photos of the birds happily eating these . . .

Great lighting on these worms and neat presetation...I'm not an insect person either :).

Yuk. Mine too.

Great minimalist shot to show your phobia. My husband used to buy live mealworms when the cub scouts had fishing derbies. They smelled terrible. Dried worms would have been much better.

Super focus, nice light too, not sure of the subject though !!

I share your phobia and have not had a successful bird feeder, perhaps because of the safe stuff I put into it (safe as in not creepy!). Great composition using minimalism.

Not my favorite kind of food, but well done!

Delighted to see this. High time we accept that all things don't suit everyone. It's in our gift to be tolerant...a valiant trait.

Really like the way you presented this - almost looks appealing :) An excellent solution to your unease.

As long as they don’t move a Joan all will be well!

What a great shot of a yucky thing. Happy for you that you conquered your phobia for these. The birds will thank you.

I don't mind worms as long as I don't have to touch them. fishing, hubby put them on the hook. your presentation looks almost appetizing. birds will finish them off in no time.
