While posting the above I remembered a sign I saw in a national park in Southern Brazil warning of stinging caterpillars that might be found in that area. I just now looked up the species mentioned on that sign, and found that the Lonomia obliqua Caterpillar is referred to as "The World's Most Venomous Caterpillar" or "The World's Deadliest Caterpillar". It apparently is responsible for more deaths per year (3 / year) than Sharks ( 1 every other year) One lady was stung on the toe by one that was in her slipper. Four days later she lapsed into a coma due to the sting, and three days after that she died. OMG.

This has always been my favorite KT thread due to Casey's (and helpers) diligence in keeping it going each day. Love viewing all of the great pix of many different topics. I have to say the one that has really appealed to me today is mojomom's super shot from the deck. WooHoo! I would love to see something like that in my backyard. Instead, I look out and it's the backdoor neighbors big yellow dog over here taking a dump. I "fondly" call him Dumpster. :-) My yard guy calls him names I can't insert here. lol! Rosie

unfortunately it doesn't drain well. This is under the house, on the far south west side. Long army crawl to get there... and I had to dig the trap out, to make that picture. I called the home warranty people and should have a plumber out before long. I am tired of trying to let the machine drain a pipe load at the time.
