No idea what it is, Julie. Just thought I would comment that it was ugly.

That looks like something I used to feed my lizards. Mealworms, maybe?

I could always comment on the photography. (How to do bug portraits)

Jimmer, how would you decide the bug's best side?

Actually Rosie, the biggest problem is explaining to the bug how to arrange his legs in a flattering position. Bugs never seem to know what to do with their legs and arms when posing for pictures. (Sorry Julie .... I know this isn't much help)

I googled mealworm. Doesn't look to be a mealworm.

Kinda looks like this to me...
Found it on the UW entomology website. Not sure if it is what it is, but it say: Carpet beetles are responsible for 80% or more of the woolen damage we see in the Insect Diagnostic lab. Every home has some carpet beetles and they commonly breed outdoors in Wisconsin. Carpet beetles can be found in most bird and wasp nest, and in attics, closet floors, along baseboards, in heating ducts and cold air returns, inside wall voids and in furniture and appliances where they feed on dead insects, animal hair, dead animals (mice or birds), food crumbs, pet food, seeds, spices, household lint and some dry goods. They will feed on wool, silk, furs, and any clothing soiled with blood, urine, beer or food stains. The damaging stage are small, brown, bristly or hairy, slow moving, segmented larvae that are 1/5 inch or less in length. An average life cycle takes one year but can vary from 4-36 months. Larvae can grow backwards (called retrogressive molting),if deprived of food. This adaptation allows carpet beetles to live for months without food. Adults are not damaging and feed on flower pollen. Females lay fragile eggs singly near food sources that hatch within 2-3 weeks. Link

Hello Someone,I have been trying to find the thread for the "Captions". I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but cannot find it. I would appreciate it if someone could respond. Thanks, Lori

Lori, if you are back here, anytime you want to find something like that, go to the top of this page and click on Search. Then enter the word or words you remember in the search box. Then click the drop down box that says search in Subjects (or Titles, or something like that). You are now good to go to find anything.

Is there a thread in BB that gives the minimum (yet important) information of the house happenings? The Important House Happenings is very lengthy. I am looking for a "Cliffs Notes" version of what is going on. Any ideas of what thread this might be in, if there even is such a thread. If not, I will start a new thread, can you give suggestions for a title for it?

Thanks Kaili! The live feed highlights will do. It's still a little lengthier than I was hoping for, but I guess it'll do...

And I am still not sure about that bug. But once the current dog food runs out, all the dog food will be stored inside the house.

Quick dq, or maybe it's not really a dumb question. After a funeral, is it good or bad etiquette to send thank you cards after a funeral? For people who helped out with some funeral expenses or were very supportive.
