A lovely gift (not!)

I let Peter out on the porch again last night and this is the lovely gift he brought me. It's a dog-days cicada, common around here in the the mid to late summer. They're harmless, just big and ugly. Thanks, Pete!

I bet Peter was so proud...

Be happy it wasnt a dead frog, or lizard or snake like mine do!
At least they love us

Oh yea.. Lilo and Garfield catch those all the time.
Those ugly things are so loud!!

He was sooo proud. And, like a good mom, I calmly praised him before fleeing the area!

Blech. We've had a few cicadas in the trees here this summer but my friends in the suburbs have had tons, they make the most awful racket! I say bravo to Peter for taking one out!

I must be strange. The cicadas are actually kind of soothing to me. Yes, they make a horrible racket, but it signifies the end of summer and tons of good memories to me. Besides, the buggers are totally harmless. It's the grasshoppers that Percy is feasting on...at least I think. All I keep finding are legs on the back porch!

All I can say to that is ICK!

Bobber brought home a chipmunk last week-she left an inch or so of the tail (yummy!)

@ Eilcon, did you enjoy your Meal? How did you prepare this given food?

Actually, most of it ended up being Pete's meal, which I'm pretty sure he shared with Gracie. I got to clean up the leftovers.

Ew, ugly bugger.
