i have an idea for you: escargo? maybe you could find you a really nice recipe and ....? lol! there is also the idea to raise medicated leaches which i like a lot, but have not yet done.
are you talking about a bright red worm, or just a reddish brown worm? there is something called a bloodworm that grows in new england, but i don't think they live there. did you buy the shrub and transplant it? it could have come with the shrub. we have gigantic worms that people use to fish with in tennessee. they are earth worms and some can get as big as 1/2 inch thick and about 8 to 10 or more inches long, but i thought everyone had them. i personally don't go in my yard looking for bugs because the most common bug in my yard is a wasp. there are also ugly beetles of all kinds. my nephew found a really ugly bugand we had to research it on the internet to find out its name. it was an assasin bug or another name for it was a wheel bug. it had a fang about an inch and a half long and it had not yet formed its wings. it would suck the blood from the other bugs in the cage with it. i am still in awe of a bug i saw about 6 or 8 years ago. if anyone in tennessee on this chat forum knows what it might be i would appreciate it very much if i could get the name. it is about 3 inches long, looks like a giant brown ant, and has a giant darker brown bubble on the back end and clicks when it walks. it crossed in front of me and i honestly thought it was a wind-up bug. i'm sure there would be no toy made to look like that. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi All -- > > I have had some "interesting" experiences this summer working in my > yard....wonder if any of you might be able to illuminate them > further. > > First, finally made some serious headway against the snail > population.
