Is this caterpillar about to croak?
Comments (3)Went out today to see if he was dead or alive, and he was gone. So I'm guessing he left to pupate. However, there was a little buckeye cat on the same plant, so I guess I get to watch that one grow. I had 3 buckeye cats on another snapdragon, and they're all gone too. Hopefully to pupate, not because something ate them! All 4 cats were about the same size, so it makes sense that they're all pupating at about the same time. They were prolly all eggs laid on the same day by one mama. :-) I wish I could find a cocoon! Deanna...See MoreLoud "Croak" sound when I turn on a light
Comments (12)No, no subwoofer. Perhaps I was unclear. It's obvious that the fan is not the problem. The sound doesn't come from the fan, it seems to come from the attic or somewhere in the walls when different switches are flipped on. It just so happens that one of the things on those switches is a fan and I noticed it there first. It also makes the noise on a hall light and when the thermostat clicks on, all of which are close to each other and likely on the same circuit. I can't recreate the sound at will, it doesn't happen every time or even every day. So hopefully the electrician can still figure out what is going on. I read elsewhere on the web about "arching" being one possibility. Or a ground wire accidentally touching a hot in the panel box. Hopefully it's not too expensive of a fix and isn't dangerous. Thankfully we have Nest Protect smoke alarms that will notify our phones if there is smoke when we aren't home, so that makes me feel better. I mentioned static because I live in Alabama and this just started happening at the same time as our coldest weather yet. Everything is super dry and cold, and my heat has flipped to auxiliary a few times. Not sure how/if it connects, probably not, but that was my thinking. The electrician should be here tomorrow afternoon and ill update after I know what the issue was. In the meantime, any more suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
