We've had some interesting insects at the house lately. They have been on the patio screens. The dobson fly and cecropia moth showed up a while back. Last night was the hercules beetle. Those are cool! It's amazing how strong they are.
Two nights ago I noticed a black widow with a ton of babies on a bird yard statue by the porch. It's cast iron and hollow. I fried the babies with a torch and thought I got the mama. Last night she was back and rebuilding her nest. I got my torch and a can of carb cleaner. I lit that statue up and filled the inside with flames for a good while. I thought for sure I got her that time. Nope, my wife saw her crawling around the base today. I just finished it off with my shoe. I don't mind black widows but this one was right against our front porch where we sit. She had to go.
