Description

I came to work and saw this bug but he was on the sheetrock part of the window. I say "He dead" I saw his freind on the floor and he was dead that I know. I started tapeing the sheetrock and when I got close to him ;he moved I stop and got my camera and started takeing photos. He move into the stand you see now. I was playing with the marco stuff and this is the best one that came out. I say "Poor fellow; he going to die if he stay there at lest outside he have a fighting chance" I did not wish to pick him up with my hands for he might bite me so I took my sheetrock knife which hade some mud on it and scoop him up. I was careful not to hurt him and I saw him hop up a little as the knife came to him. Then I saw him look like he was sucking the water out of the mud. I went outside and saw this bush and I put him there. It look like he just hop off of the mud knife. Then he looked at me cleaning his littles hands. I looked at him and I thought he had no eyes but in a way I felt like he was saying "THANKS" Guess he had eyes but I no bug person that study them too. I went in and started to work again then in five minutes I went outside and looked for the bug but he was gone. So he alive and that how I got the title here thanks for everything

Oh man, Jock. I showed this picture to my neighbor a zoologist. He did some quick phone calls and said his collegues said it was a dwarf wasp thought to be extinct. He said they would pay millions to have it. (LOL. I'm just kidding you.) You are indeed a kind hearted person to do what you did. Have a grand day.

Did you do the corner beads as well? Looks like you should have a fun time mudding it. Cool shot, it's a good thing you didn't mud him in, I'm sure he's much happier outside but he probably has some kind of tummy ache now.

We are proud of our mathematics. We reckon the days of our fellow creatures. We decide which will live and which ... But that is not the picture here. This is a bug thinking it has no use for the viewer.

So I'm not the only person that saves bugs. lol q-: I saved a snub-nosed butterfly the other day. Poor little fellow couldn't get out the glass door. Of course my brother thought I was silly/nuts! Very nice close-up of this little critter! (:

You have a kind heart, Jock. Now he's not only alive but his picture is all over the world (not that the latter means much to him . . . or her). Nice shot.
