First day of spring! A good day to write a new blog post. It’s a lovely time of year when everything comes to life. I was delighted to see the first clump of frogspawn in my pond yesterday (a nice Mother’s Day treat). I was beginning to panic that none of my Hissing cockroaches had produced babies this year but just last week it began and now I have plenty. My Tail-less Whip scorpion has been obviously gravid for weeks and I was beginning to think something was wrong but all of a sudden, I found her with lots of little babies clinging to her back. I think everything has been a bit delayed by the cold spell of weather this year. Of course, the clocks go forward next weekend and then it really will feel like spring. What with the cold weather, bank holidays and strikes (still looming over us) it has been a difficult time for posting out bugs. I like, and also need to be organised so having to keep changing my posting days has been a real pain. Everything seems to be going well in the bug...
