Guess what I found in our garden today?
Couldn't believe my eyes, global warming or what? Didn't know what to do with it, so just left it where it was. It's not the first time I have found things there; items include coins 1p, 2p etc and once a £5 note. The worst thing I found was a bag of used hypodermic needles, lucky I didn't squeeze it before opening it.

If I'm not mistaken Tinky, that's the poisonous type.

Re: Guess what I found in our garden today?
I have heard that we have battalions of wall scorpions living in dry walls in this country..Forget which part of the country though.

Not so much a problem then, can't see there being many dry walls after this Summer.

Sigh! I guess all those picturesque dry walls across many parts of Wales anf Northumberland are a figment of my imagination then..and yes I got the joke..I wish I hadn't. 
Oh and I think we have had a better summer than for the past three years so far.I haven't seen any of the flooding that has made a misery for so many for the last few years and my hands are touching wood as I speak.

According to Ask bop, it says....
PHP Code:
Found predominantly in the tropics and subtropics—although several species live in temperate regions—stick insects thrive in forests and grasslands, where they feed on leaves. Mainly nocturnal creatures, they spend much of their day motionless, hidden under plants.
Don't know if my one will survive out there in the front garden, but what can I do? What's more worrying is I may accidentally tread on it, or cut it in half with the secateurs eeek!.
