I found this in my backyard this morning
When I was taking the dog out this morning I found the cat perched over a hole in the dirt in the backyard. I first thought it might be a snake. As I got closer to the hole I heard a noise coming from it. Hmmm, no wonder the cat was so interested.
I got the water hose to water my flowers but decided to try and flood out what ever was in that hole. I noticed about 6 feet away was another smaller hole that I assumed was the escape outlet in case of an emergency. Well…I ‘m here to say what happened next was an emergency….not so much for whatever was living in the hole but for me. I started the flooding process at the exit and ran quite a bit of water in the hole but nothing happened. So, I decided to move over to the entrance. By now the cat had lost interest but I wish she had stayed as she could have been very helpful to me. When I ran the water into the entrance nothing happened at first but when I moved the hose out came this creature. I thought it was a locust but the back of it looked like a bee. So I yelled for the hubs to come check it out and about the time he got to the door the creature took flight. And…I screamed and jumped almost falling off of the step as I knew he/she was coming for revenge. See, if that cat had only hung around just a few more minutes I would have shown her the prize of the day and I would have been able to continue watering my yard without fear of THE CREATURE!!
