A wonderful array of examples of why you choose your cosmetic surgeon/aesthetic practitioner *very* wisely

Cheap to feed, too

My cats would eat them. I did have a pet scorpion once but he died during a bad moult, RIP Pinchy

Roaches aren't usually an issue in the UK outside very urbanised areas...unless one has escaped from the red runners I breed for my tarantulas (it happened ONCE...ok maybe twice. Or three times.)

I can't re-read my Jilly Cooper novels at the moment because a lovely false widow has built her web over them & I don't want to disturb her.
