i have an idea for you: escargo? maybe you could find you a really nice recipe and ....?
'round here, we put empty (almost, a few drops always remain, to act as bait) beer cans as traps for snails and slugs. Your escargot would come already *marinated* <VBG>
i personally don't go in my yard looking for bugs because the most common bug in my yard is a wasp.
Be very, very careful of those; more and more people are now serverly allergic to stings from bees/wasps/yellow jackets and others of the extended family. After my first near-death experience with them, I used to carry an Epi-something (can't remember what <g>) with me every time I ventured out into "nature". Now I just limit my outside trips to parking lots :)
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.
I'm forwarding that part to a couple of (US) biology MAs of my acquaintance; neither is in Tennessee, but they might recognise it all the same. Will report if I hear back; sounds like something from outer space :)
Yours, evading storm second night in a row - I've never done so much "saving" in my entire 'puter life...
