Tuesday.. Surprise, OUCH! But then what about the UNICORN

BUT for now:

HappyK from up Maryland way gave me some very surprising news.  That PRETTY Bug I had on Yesterday is a bad one.  It snuck into our country from the Orient.  It is invasive and NOT GOOD for crops.

Invasive?  Amazing what someone or something can introduce into our country.  The Tilapia Fish is native to Africa and the Middle East.  It is now common to catch that fish in Florida.  Someone introduced that here. The Tilapia is a delicious fish, bug so is our Perch. LOL

 

The Python on a tree in Florida, You would see this dude in your  back yard, up to 16ft long and 90 pounds.

The Burmese Python, native of SE Asia, a Large Constrictor snake introduced in Florida as exotic pets has become the most invasive in the Glades. It has caused ecological havoc by preying on native wildlife.

I haven’t noticed in the last few years, but at one time they sold baby alligators as pets here in Florida. People as far north as Virginia bought them and the either escaped homes or were loosed into the wild when they got too big to handle.  Fortunately the gator doesn’t do well in cold weather and have not propagated.

People not understanding the BIG POSSIILITY of problems that can be caused, have increased population of invasive characters.

So I should have killed that Spotted Lanternfly, it sure was pretty though. (Much prettier than a roach) before it laid more eggs.

We have so many laws, rules and regulations, but it is hard to search every box and package imported.  Truly impossible to discover insect eggs, etc.

Y'all be good And do not try to sneak any Unicorns into the country, they would mix with our horses and no telling where or how many horns would be. WE might discover a Porcupine horse one day.
