So I’ve just found out by watching a TV programme that you can order ladybirds by post! Live ladybirds! To eat all the blackfly in your garden. Well I never...

You can get practically anything - even sacks of conkers!

I wonder if you can buy spiders to catch the flies?....

[DTCwordfan]

I wonder if you can buy crocs to keep the noseys out....got the moat after this winter.

[Smowball]

What would you do with a sack of conkers?? Lol

[Smowball]

(Goes to Google the rest lol)

[sherrardk]

Conkers are for repelling spiders and also come under 'witchcraft supplies) - I can't even remember why we were looking for them.

I'm still trying to deal with the caterpillars I ordered...

Have a friend who regularly sends stick insects by post. I was horrified at first but apparently they travel ok.

[Old_Geezer]

Never taste the same though.

[Mamyalynne]

Taste the same as what?

[ummmm]

After travelling, Mamy :-)

[ummmm]

You need to pluck them off their branch and eat them asap...

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, it's been a long day, thank you.

[Mamyalynne]

I obviously have a very plain diet ;-)

[ummmm]

We bought some cooked bugs in Thailand. OH tried them and offered me some...not a hope in hell, I don't care how much sauce they are smothered in.!

[Mamyalynne]

Shudder.

I was down at Canary Wharf last summer, and the Economist magazine had a stall outside trying to attract new readers by offering free ice cream. I almost took one till I read their billboards properly
