Glad he stayed put!  They are quite the jumpers..

Yes, exactly :) :)  I should just train them all to respond to "Hey you!"
Especially since most of the time it's to correct on or more of them :)

Oh yes, we had swarms in Louisville, and yes, we moved rather quickly from that
house.. it was rich in history so you'd think the owner would have cared more
about the destruction those termites were causing.. but they didn't care.  The
house was ancient.. probably some parts of it were constructed in the 1800's.
It had the most beautiful sun room, and brick patio outside the sunroom doors.
We did a lot of work in that house gratis, because it was so neat.. new kitchen
floor, etc.  but then when the termites showed up, that was enough for me :(

I hope not.. in the meantime, I'm waiting for the potato structure to plant any
more.. they haven't bothered the peas, beets or lettuce I have planted.. I
guess those potato hills were just to inviting (g)

Take care,
Janis
