Preparing to Live with the Natural World

I'm sure you're right, Marguerite and I can see you are already attuned.

That's exactly the understanding that is needed, and that may come to many with time. But, as I said, I've never successfully convinced an angry yellowjacket to not sting me. To know where they live and what to look out for seems to me good information to have.

I only kill mosquitoes and ticks. But a thousand ladybugs in my house, as much as I love them, is also not a welcome event.

I was hoping in this thread to share practical information with people who may not be attuned as you are, or have experience with these Natural creatures. So many people are thinking of relocating from city to country without ever having had a single encounter with any other life form than people and cockroaches. There is so much more life out here in the country! At the very least, this thread was meant to get people thinking about this aspect of what they might be planning.

The assortment of Natural Life I commented on is particular to this area. I encourage people from other areas to share what the Natural World is like where they live. It varies from place to place. No alligators here! But what is a reasonable way to deal with alligators if you need to?
