I'm impressed.
Thanks to everyone who clued me in on how to block those aggravating spammers. I just emptied my spam box of more than 500 of the things, but since I followed your advice, there hasn't been a single one!

You're free from the spammers' grips at last Sue.
ReplyDeleteRemoving the water tower did not take long, but we did not stay to watch the whole process. It might have been half a day's work. The crew were complete professionals and knew exactly what they were doing. I thought the process was worth documenting.
ReplyDeleteI have seen jewelry made for live beetles, crazy.
ReplyDeleteWoah, that's a Sci Fi B movie right there. What did you do to get rid of it, I just never publish it and delete when I see it.
ReplyDeleteRead the suggestions on my post from last week, Jeanna. Lots of ideas.
DeleteIs it a rhinocerous beetle? Sweet, yet angry looking!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to see what sort of good advice you received regarding spammers. Interesting photo!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture x #sundaysnap
ReplyDeleteWow you got nice and close. Do you have a close up lens, or just your regular phone or camera? Bugs are pretty. Imagine if they were as big as us though. Creepy!
ReplyDeleteYIKES!!! Now that is very scary...:)jp

ReplyDeleteWow, that is one big beetle, So glad to hear the level of your spam comments has been so reduced! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Sue. Happy Wednesday!
That is an interesting shot. Would that big guy have a name, apart from the generic Beetle.
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteYou had 500 spam comments? WOW!! I don't get a lot of spam but WP throws legit bloggers into my spam folder which I have learned to keep an eye on. :) Thanks for hosting the WW fun, my friend.
Happy the advice worked, as Blogger gives us limited tools. That is one frightening looking beetle. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

We used to get stag beetles in the garden in summer. I could cope with them until they started flying around!
