I hate the idea of killing a creature simply because it is in my space, doing me no harm, one exception--a @#$!
landlubber grasshopper (cause he eats ANY PLANT in his path).

Today, I picked up a brick. Here's what I found under it. These are babies (the smallest about the size of a big healthy earthworm).

The snake in the pool is one I photoed earlier this year. It is still around. I have seen it in the liriope.

Several people seem disgusted that I didn't kill these, but why?

My snakes have been id as "little brown snakes" whose main diet is earthworms and slugs. Boy, can I ever use their services in the slug department around my place!
