I love volunteer tomato plants. No gardening for me today.
Sjoerd, here in the States we have a Box Elder tree. Some years it attracts bugs known as Box Elder bugs because they prefer laying their eggs...
I may try this one season.
This little Lady sometimes brings hundreds of her family into people's homes, uninvited. Often they are sucked into a vacuum. I love this bug and...
