Default On Bugs

I loved this post Steve.
When you first started posting about raw food I was curious but generally felt 'there's no way I could do that'! Now for some reason I'm finding myself more and more curious! I may begin experimenting.

On bugs - I can't kill anything except for wasps and that's because I'm absolutely petrified of them. My grandmother nearly died after being stung by one and for some reason I have always felt I would have the same reaction - however unsubstantiated I can't shake the feeling so wasps look out!

That said, even though I cringe when a wolf spider comes in the house I would never hurt them. My grandmother said they are good luck. They are allowed to live on my balcony or in the kitchen but not in the bedroom or bathroom. Found in the latter I catch them and put them outside. I won't destroy a web until I know it's been vacated. This afternoon I let a moth out of the hallway and last week released another huge moth that was 'terrrorising' people at work - haha. Flies can certainly be irritating but have you ever just looked at one of those huge blue bottles and see the beautiful blue/green irridescent shine on their backs or intricate wings, the complex eyes? Amazing creatures!

So wasps aside (sorry!) I'm bug friendly :-)
