We got a new kitten. Or rather, he got us. Jack, as we've dubbed him, wandered onto the farm and decided to stay. He could probably supply power to half the city with his very smelly methane emissions and his infinite supply of kinetic energy. This is one of the few times he wasn't running around in circles attacking inanimate objects.

These ants have invaded my apartment, and It's a species I'm not familiar with. After some quick research I believe it's Linepithema humile, the Argentine ant.

They smell when you smash 'em.

If you live in the Bay Area, you may have heard about a dreaded insect that could wipe out the Napa Valley wine industry.

Fortunately this isn't the glassy-winged sharpshooter but some other type of leafhopper that isn't a threat to our lovely crop, the grape.
