hey so thanks again for the further advise, i have been giving it calcium supplements on a chunk of damp bread. Can any other multivitamin work?....uhh as for the weeds I live in the tropics and I'm not sure what other plants besides my neighbor's hibiscus plants is good for it (i haven't been driven to take any lol)

I would give the calcium on fruit, such as tomato, cucumber, strawberry etc., rather than bread.

I'm not sure which of these grow in your part of the world, but you may find these lists helpful.

These tortoises are quite fond of hibiscus (flowers and leaves), papaya, bouganvillea, cactus, aloe vera and many other naturally occurring Caribbean plants.

A Lactrodectus sp.(Black Widow) that I saw last summer while collecting crinoids in Kentucky.

I was out in the field when they came over.
Deepest droning noise I've heard in a while.
Rather disturbing until you realize they only want to find a place to rest for the night.

Aha! But that's exactly what they want you to think! When you are relaxed they come get you!

They are still there after about 48 hours.
I would have thought that was a temp nest, that they would look for a hollow in a tree to make a permeant hive.
I wonder if they will stay.

This was just beating against the sliding glass door.
It's a regal moth.

Its caterpillar stage is the most impressive. As a caterpillar it is know as "The Hickory Horned Devil."

Wholly moly again! That last one looks grotesque.

Karen W. · « **Reply #71 on:** 28/07/2009 07:35:43 »

"The Hickory Horned Devil." is impressive and not at all grotesque. Very Handsome specimen actually!

Maybe it's because I've never seen it in my life.
