FACE BOOK


I FOUND face book, and the games and other things available through it.
getting involved with it I've neglected by blog, which takes though to prepare.

sO, As of today I'm going to work at
my blog at least once every 4 days.
this gives me game time, plus time to work on by blog.

check out my face book, would like to hear from you.

SEE-FOOD

we all like see food, and some of us like sea food. one of my favorite is the shrimp.
small but mighty tasty.

this is a pink shrimp
and there is a difference between shrimp and prawns.

Shrimp are swimming, decapod crustaceans classified in the infraorder Caridea, found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. Adult shrimp are filter feeding benthic animals living close to the bottom. They can live in schools and can swim rapidly backwards. Shrimp are an important food source for larger animals from fish to whales.

this one is steamed

they are also good bait.

see what we caught..


seashells, and see food

back when i was working, one day a swarm of lady ATTACKED me and the guy i was working.
they were in the wet concrete on our backs, hair everywhere.
my boys laugh at me and it's,..." yea dad and they bite to" .

actually they were looking for water.
the sweat was one form the cement was another. had to trowel them in. evently they bugged out. that my story.....but ladybugs do swarm.

Ladybugs are a kind of beetle which is an insect. They are usually less than 1/4 in long (from 4-7 mm in length), and have oval bodies. The female ladybug is usually larger than the male. Most of them have red, orange, or yellow elytra (wing covers) and black spots. Some are black with red spots and some ladybugs have no spots at all! The number of spots helps to identify the kind of ladybug. The elytra is a hard wing cover that protects the ladybug's fragile wings. The ladybug's wings are so thin that you can see through them. The pronotum is found just behind the ladybug's head and it often has spots on it. It helps to hide and protect the head. Like all insects, the ladybug has six jointed legs. There are special organs on their feet to help them smell. The ladybug uses its antennae to touch, smell and taste.

There are nearly 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs worldwide and 400 which live in North America.
A female ladybug will lay more than 1000 eggs in her lifetime.
A ladybug beats its wings 85 times a second when it flies.
Aphids are a ladybug's favorite food.
Ladybugs chew from side to side and not up and down like people do
A gallon jar will hold from 72,000 to 80,000 ladybugs.

Ladybugs make a chemical that smells and tastes terrible so that birds and other predators won't eat them.

If you squeeze a ladybug it will bite you, but the bite won't hurt.
The spots on a ladybug fade as the ladybug gets older.
During hibernation, ladybugs feed on their stored fat.
Ladybugs won't fly if the temperature is below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

The ladybug is the official state insect of Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Tennessee.

The male ladybug is usually smaller than the female.
The Asian Lady Beetle can live up to 2-3 years if the conditions are right.

now boys BUG OUT
