loretta may get a new entree
July 9, 2005
Fruit flies everyday might be worse than prison loaf.
It is with great interest that I see the cabbage moths in the garden. Normally this means my getting out the bacillus thuringiensis before the green caterpillars eat all the petunias and geraniums. But Loretta has grown to where she might be up to a caterpillar or two.
She lost part of a leg in the last molt, and has difficulty with balance. So not only do I capture the flies, but must stun them as well since she can’t procure her own. She refuses the completely dead ones. (mutter, grumble, as if I’m not busy enough)
