Thanks for the belly laugh. So loved the title and your macro work is awesome. I love seeing how we all have so raised the bar over the years.

Good eye for spotting this one- and nicely captured macro! I hear them all day here, but have never found an empty shell.

Still clinging on - be there for years!

I haven't seen any of the accused but I certainly do hear them.

it still looks intimidating. won't even come near it. i saw a jumping spider on my window ledge. as you know, spiders or any insects of any kind are not welcome in my home so spider's gone. no photo evidencing its existence. :-]
