We have Lawn Shrimp

These are called Lawn Shrimp or House Hoppers, scientific name: Talitroides Sylvaticus, a terrestrial crustacean. There are hundreds and hundreds of them laying dead in our back yard. I googled them and found out that they are very common in LA and Orange County, especially after rain. It's really gross when we let Wrigs out and he comes back covered in these crusty buggers. It could be worse. We could have these.

hey hey hey! just as you posted a nice compliment to my pic i go ahead and erase it. it's just that i was experimenting on updating my blog template to include my pic on the top right, like you have in yours. and for that i would have to post it on the blog first - you know the drill.
i speak portuguese, by the way. and i liked your pic too ;)

hey, nice pic! I assume it's from your trip. have you tried dipping the lawn shrimp in cocktail sauce yet?

ok, i'm a dork! I just enlarged the picture, and I realized it's the one you posted that prompted me to ask about the goodies in the background!

Hey Veggie! You speak and write English? I really wish I would have paid more attention in Spanish class. After college I stopped speaking it altogether and am REALLY rusty. But I'll keep checking your blog for more fun pics!

And Chitown girl I LOVE the idea of using my lawn shrimp as an appetizer. Or even a salad staple. Next time you visit I promise to make you a delicious dinner!

Hello outstanding blog! Does running a blog like
this require a great deal of work? I've absolutely no expertise in coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyways, should you have any ideas or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject but I simply needed to ask. Thanks!
