Drew is back for the week and no more visits from fox looking for an easy chicken dinner. The weather has been so dry here that we water, water and water our gardens. They still look dry.
One of our summer projects has been to try to make a DIY mosquito trap. Drew and I believe it would be a successful trap but there haven't been many mosquitoes due to the dry weather, We have, however, had success trapping a menagerie of other pesky bugs. We have seen a few fireflies but there are definitely fewer flying around at night this year. Drew is eager to catch some of them to use as a night light for one night. He releases them in the morning. While the fireflies still will show us their light in the "firefly habitat" that we made, they do not flash as much as they do before we catch the. I wonder what one can do to get them to flash more in their temporary captivity?
