there's an organic bacterial pesticide, but i worry about also killing bees. I've just been picking off the dead and chewed flowers and killing the worms whenever I see them. But in just a few days, they've managed to wipe out the beautiful pot of pink ones.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, BT only kills caterpillars and nothing else. The bees are safe.

My Trixie dress doesn't work on me. I'm too short-waisted. Anyone looking for a black Trixie dress, size L?

So sorry, meara. That bites.
I had a houseguest for five days. Who was very nice. But now I'm very happy to have my house to myself again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So am I the only one who likes the Trixie dress?

I like the *idea* of it, it just doesn't like my figure.

Yeah, I should have said "in more than theory".

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So! What can you tell me about flying foxes and their habits and demeanors?
Well, unlike the microchiroptera, they eat only plant matter (fruit, nectar, pollen, flowers). They don't possess echolocation, since fruit isn't known for its evasive maneouvres. Instead they rely on sight and smell. They generally live in trees rather than caves, since they can't navigate in total darkness. They're still commonly nocturnal. Although flying foxes are mostly tropical, in Australia they extend down the east coast; grey-headed flying foxes are found in Melbourne, there's a colony not far from where I live. Some of them (including the spectacled flying fox) can drink seawater, not so much for the water (fruit and nectar gives them plenty of moisture) as for the salt. They're pollinating species for some trees.
You have four species in Australia: grey-headed, spectacled, black and little red. (We also have plenty of microchiroptera, of course.)
