I am still putting out the mealworms and am hopeful. I do have a heated birdbath in the winter too. I'd love it of they stayed longer. One of my neighbors asked me what he should do about wrens in his bluebird boxes(he has three). I said, "I cannot tell you what to do." After losing my 2nd brood to wrens, I WILL be asking him not to populate our neighborhood with more wrens. The lady across the road, lets anything nest in her yard and she has a LOT of birdhouses. I know she has HOSP and wrens both, but I have never approached her about it. I know another neighbor has approached her. Nothing came of it. It's just so frustrating. I removed the wren's sticks from my chickadee nesting box, day after day after day the entire time my blues were in their box ...

Saved pages? If you mean your clippings that you saved on the old GW yes they are gone since they were tied to your member page at GW. But all the discussions are still available by search so all the recipes from the forum are still here but would have to be pulled together by you again. Better to save recipes/instructions to your own computer. If you mean discussions you saved to your own computer then they should still be available to you unless you just saved the URL and not the content itself. URLs all change when the servers change.

I find that they usually go some distance away to pupate. I have a difficult time spotting them. I noticed yesterday that my really big milk weed was stripped clean and the cats were all fat. Today I was able to find two chrysalises because they did not hide well. One is up under the eaves and the other just stuck itself to the outside of the screen. I hope he makes it.

Earthworms need organic matter, that is what they live on. How much is in the soil?
