Ant Control
Is there a formula for something I
can leave on the kitchen bench that will attract small black ants to feed and
then go away and die, and hopefully discourage their millions of relatives to
stay away?

Brown Recluse
I found a spider in my house that I suspect may be a brown
recluse, I got rid of the one I found, however what are the chances there
are more in my house and how do I get rid of them?

Hong Kong Cicadas-
Honeydew
Hello there. I have a
question about Cicada's. I have a big tree outside my house (I live in
Hong Kong). The tree is full of Cicada's which screech seemingly all day
and night. I would like to know why there is moisture
dripping from this same tree day and night. The ground below is
constantly wet and there is a definite smell to the moisture - kind of
musty. Is the moisture from the Cicada's and if so what is
it? I have looked at several resources, but found no definitive
answer. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hawaiian Butterflies
Aloha,
During my endless search for more information on 'Native' Hawaiian Butterflies
other than the Hawaiian Monarch, I came across your name. I was wondering if
you would have any readily available information you could share with me, or
perhaps point me in the right direction. I'm not looking for anything
terribly scientific, but more on the informative and
interesting-to-the-average-person scale.
Also, I collect, preserve, and sell Hawaiian Monarchs in various life stages,
should you ever be in need of a specimen source. I hope this doesn't
offend you if you are highly sensitive to inhumane acts towards bugs. I
also raise and sell live ones, but can't ship out of the State of Hawaii; just
incase you were wondering about the 'Beautiful Live Butterflies'.

Photos of Longhorn Beetles
Is there an online library of bug photos or something so i can find out
who this little guy is?? he has black spots on a white body, mandibles,
long curved antennae, looks like he could fly but he just stumbles around like
he's drunk or poisoned or something.

Poisonous Insects and Science
Fairs
Hello Bugman
I decided to help my daughter to do a science project. We would like to do it
on the world’s most poisonous insects. But to no avail, I can't
find anything definitive on the web with pictures. Time is running out
and if you can help thank you. I don't have much
time..................thanks

Spiders Falling
From Death-Defying Heights
Bugman,
Just yesterday, I witnessed a spider fall from a tree onto concrete.
I know that if I fell the same distance, proportionally, I would definitely
die. However, the spider I witnessed simply crawled away. Could
you please explain this. Thank you.

Ladybugs as Roommates
Sirs:
Here is my long winded question.
This summer around August or September I noticed about 1500 ladybugs crawling
on the back (west) side of my house. They were everywhere, crawling around
windows, up the walls, etc. I was a bit taken aback, but I figured at the
time that it may simply have been a cyclical event akin to locusts and other
insects.
The rest of the long-winded question
Thanks,
