how can i get over my phobia of insects?
Posted by: | Commentsits getting worse!
i only used to have a phobia of spiders
but now its every insect
i freak out if there near me, especially if there in my house.
i love butterflys and i used to try and catch them when i was little.
but now i can only watch them from a distance and get a bit funny when there near me.
when i say phobia i dont mean that im just a bit scared of them, im actually more than petrified of them.
especially spiders, there is no way id even touch one even with a stick.
earlier a bee landed on me, and i wasnt scared that it would sting me, i was more worried of the fact that its legs were on me.
i dont know what to do, i used to be such a nature girl when i was little, i was always in the garden.
but now im beyond getting ridiculous.
Ok so I was planning on getting a sugar glider but I have a lot of questions. I was planning on using a pelleted food called Sunseed Vita Sugar Glider Formula. As it said on the package I will use the pelleted food for 50% of the glider’s daily intake. On the package it specifically said Sugar Gliders have unique dietary requirements. While this prepared food is an excellent base diet, it should only make up about 50% of your pet’s daily intake. The balance of the diet should consist of approximately 40% fresh vegetables (such as dark, leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, and carrots), and 10% fruits (melons, apples, and bananas). The addition of small mealworms, wax worms, and crickets are also recommended. For the line that says to add bugs, is it really necessary to? I’m assuming it is for protein so instead can I feed it something like boiled chicken? I myself have no problem with bugs, but my parents do. Do I have to feed them live insects? What exactly are bonding pouches? Should I take my sugar glider with me everywhere? Like to parties? What time do sugar gliders wake up? Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry for not clearing up on this but by parties I mean going to houses of my parent’s friends. It is generally quiet (nobody yells) and calm.
EDIT: Yes I am 13 years old and about to go to high school. I may be busy next year do to taking all AP/IB classes. I also watched most of the videos in this series: http://www.youtube.com/user/sugarglidervet Is it reliable? As for dorms, I am certain I will not be staying in one as my parents are strongly against dorms
Have these insects evolved from nothing?!? Can you identify it?
Posted by: | CommentsHi there.
In my garden there is a bucket full of rain water it has some algae in it and bits of mud. Put it this way – I wouldn’t drink it.
But in the water there are tadpole like creatures, they use their tale to attempt to swim by moving it from side to side. They are really small, they range from 3mm – 15mm. Does anyone know what this insect is, or could evolve to be? As it looks like the life form is only just starting out.
Thanks
Okay thanks! Just youtube’d it. Turns out i have some pupe ( not sure how to spell it) living in their to

Growers are beginning to understand that common birds can be of uncommon value to fields, lawns and gardens. Many avian species earn their keep by eating insects and small mammals, and destroying weed seeds.
