one flying around my spare bedroom this morning what the... aren't they supposed to be sleeping he/she is now an ex wasp

[littlemark]

Every now and then we've had a mozzie (or Wizzy-wozza as Karen shrieks them) appear in the house, which is puzzling. Yesterday whilst I stood back to admire my grape vine pruning efforts a Peacock butterfly fluttered by and headed up the garden.

hahaha - love the wizzy-wozza, cracking name

And we had our first butterfly in the garden yesterday!

I hate wizzy-wozzas more than pretty much anything on this planet!

Wasps I can tolerate, at least they make cool houses for themselves.

I had a ladybird flying around the bedroom the other night. That could be phrased better I know, but at this time of the morning...

Oh, I don't come over all girly, more like man possessed. If we're on holiday and I hear one in the room I won't sleep until I've annihilated the bladdy thing ggggrrrrr!

*deep breathes*

Of course, LadyWayne loves me getting up in the middle of the night, stumbling round with some form of swat in my hand, all because I've heard a wizzy-wozza flying near my ear.

My Fella (also a soldier) is totally freeked by spiders- not just camel spiders and the like- lickle itsy house spiders!! WEIRD!!

Agree on the wizzy-wozzas tho, hate the annoying little blighters, they always wizzy woz right past yer ear when yer trying to go to sleep, sure they're smiling while they do it too.

[Winged one]

I hate the wizzy wozza's too - I used to not mind them too much but we were in Cuba (summer hols - realise now that it was a bit nuts...>) when I was 3 months pregnant with the toddler, so I couldn't use most of the anti-moz treatments. So they came in for the kill - I was COVERED in bites. The OH, when he stopped laughing, stopped counting at 56 cos he hadn't moved from my top half and it was only depressing me. I was swatting the room all evening too, despite leaving anti-moz things burning while we were out of it and all the doors/windows closed. Never again.....

[Flummery]

I don't seem to get bitten by the flying things - Mr F reckons I'm too nasty! On holiday in Scotland he gets eaten alive by the midgies - our nephew as a tot called them 'creckles' (like tickly freckles I think) so here, mozzies are mozzies but midgies are creckles!

[piskieinboots]

same here Lainey - I am the one to gently evict the spiders!

I can pick them up and put them out the door with a wagging finger saying 'and don't come back naughty spider' but there is a size thing going on here - if spider would fit the size of my hand I go get a pint glass (yep, I use Snowdrop's but don't tell him ) and cover too-big-for-hand spider and slide paper under and off he goes out the door

liteweight servicemen enemy - no probs shoot on sight, spider - arrrrgh runs away

LOL! I do the glass and paper thing too if they're too big, don't tell my OH thou it'd ruin the mocking!

[Newbie]

We have been finding lady birds all over our house all winter, at least one a day. Thought they were supposed to be sleeping too, perhaps they've all decided to sleep at our house without telling us.

[SarzWix]

This is all sounding very familiar... My OH petrified of spiders too, and if I do the paper & glass thing he insists on putting the glass through the dishwasher afterwards! Of course, if it's big enough (which it usually is - have you seen the size of the things that live in dry-stone walls??!!) I have to show him it trying to scramble out of the glass before I put it out...
Me, I hate anything that flaps, so moths freak me out if there's one inside (can cope with them outside), and I hate flies with a passion (hence spiders being my best friends!)

my dislike is earwigs eeewwwwwww
