Rightio

He will do it too. He has got that nutjob look about him.

:penquincou:


:failtard:

Fuck that. You do it.

I don't believe any chem trail crap at all, but other poisons or something is killing off the birds, bees and frogs. We are seeing some signs that a die off of humans may be next. I know some will say, oh we have lots of those, but the fact is they are in pockets, where as they used to be everywhere. Something is wrong. This last summer there were hardly any bugs either. I drove thousands of miles and maybe cleaned my windshield twice. Normally, that would have to be done often, very often. So, what is happening, I don't know, I just know it is happening. I am not a young guy, this is UN-presidented.

:lilkiteh:

your progeny are WAAY too successful here TM - noxious pests - out of control [like possums in NZ] - no known predators [except for that enterprising tarantula Baldrick mentioned and some crows have learned to flip and degut them - pity not many toads are out during the day]

They were originally imported for getting rid of pests in sugar cane - they failed miserably in that venture and rampaged on the highlife knocking off the native amphipians on the way.

the dry texas weather did a number on the toads and tree frogs

but, what was weird, the very first rain
mushroons/toadstolls EVERYwhere. been here 13 years, never seen that
all day, walk outside, more
and ones I had never seen before, almost 5 inches in diameter

strange

ZP, I think you should check out the the little moist area in your garden - there'd be tarantulas sunbaking for sure!

I HAD a theory that suggested the toads were slowly working their way around Straya, from the east cost to the northern tip and across to W.A, and during their journey their numbers are slowly dwindling due to the crows figuring out how to eat them and now it seems that tarantulas have enjoyed a toady snack or two

But to that equation, I have to point out the lack of christmas beetles and the lack of colour on the rare ones we do get. This season we have had about three beetles a night, we know this cos we made a joke of it as the dawg played with them " beetlejuice,beetlejuice,beetlejuice".

We have had ONE that has had all the colours.

Normally ones house is inundated and the brown ones eventually turn to coloured ones or maybe they are male, female, I am not a beetle expert

Christmas beetles aren't lawn [black/brown] beetles - I miss those metallic marvels too -all I have is a cadaver from 15yrs ago which is crumbling :-(

The adults feed on Eucalypt leaves, say no more

I think a doctor is required to inspect ZP's little moist area.

It's gently raining right now. Normally at this time of year I shouldn't be able to back down my drive way without killing at least 3 toads out of the 2 dozen standing around.
Tonight I saw 3 all up.
Someone else here has mentioned christmas beetles.
Normally a plague here gathering in drifts at doorways, barely saw 10 I reckon.
Slightly colder summer than normal but still, it's not normal.

Why? whats wrong with behind his ears?

:whatcat:

I forgot about the beetle no show this year.
I wonder is there's an entomologist in the house?

But... but... you said you WERE a doctor...
I feel dirty now.

He posted that here as well: Thread: Good Lord... More Strange Sounds Today - Manitoba Canada (Page 2)

Wow... O..K..... *backs away slowly reaching for kitchen knife*...

Perhaps it's a GOOD thing when wackos lack imagination...

No doubt.

I've seen him on 5 or 6 threads now C/P'ing the same thing.
