Now it's getting interesting!!!!
The plagues are occurring while we watch.
At exactly 10.45pm tonight, Tuesday, hundreds of EARWIGS came under the kitchen door and scuttled everywhere.
If you have ever had a dog and watched it deal with something in its ear, you can picture Steve. Writhing, moaning, stamping, turning round in circles, shaking the head, we see the poor dog's/Steve's suffering.
He has resorted to using the vacuum cleaner, snapping it quickly on and off, catching them one at a time before they escape. I am in grave danger of having my head clipped by a flying aluminium tube, as he swings from front to back to side.
My contribution has been to roll up a wet newspaper and place it at the back door. I remember that the earwigs used to attack my dahlias and I wet newspaper with beer and the critters crawled into it by the hundred, drunken, no doubt. I didn't have any beer this time, (well, not any that I cared to waste.)
For some reason, they are all heading towards Steve. Only a handful are coming my way. This has got him very twitchy!
It's a warm night and the kitchen light is on, to entice all light enthusiasts to the fly wire. I can see moths, midges, flying ants and small locusts. Ah! Variety!
