Ysaw: March 2009
http://texasmantis.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. The beginning of an extremely difficult journey ahead. Being able to catch a glimpse of a hatching ootheca is always a wonderful sight. Although i must admit it is a nightmare for all the fruit flies! Friday, March 27, 2009. 1, 2, 3 say cheese. *snap*. If it wasn't for keeping mantis as pet, i would have never thought of owning a SLR camera. So the process of looking for one starts right away. Probably the easiest part of my entire process of getting the camera ha! After getting t...

Ysaw: Spring is here in Texas!!
http://texasmantis.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-is-here-in-texas.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Spring is here in Texas! The bug hunting season is offically open! Spring break in Houston actually came few weeks ago. We have been seeing mid 80s but occasionally temperature still drop back to mid 30s. Yesterday night we experienced temperature close to freezing due to wind chill! It was windy. But hopefully we do not have to see that again this month onwards. We also did the first bug hunting at night last Saturday. First in this year! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, April 13, 2009. Love all. Play! Some friends keen on this sport invited me for a game. Till today, I remember vividly on my first serve, the tennis ball went straight to the fence! Luckily it didn't fly out and hit a window or car or someone! From there on i realized this sport is really not as easy as it look. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bug hunt in TX.

Ysaw: April 2009
http://texasmantis.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Dinner at Daily Grill. The healthy way of eating is to have the best food in breakfast, sufficient food for lunch, and just enough for dinner. The restaurant is located at the second floor in Galleria Mall. The place appear to be cozy. We were seated next to the kitchen separated by only the glass wall so we could actually see the chief cooking inside, cool. There is a bar section serving a wide selection of wines but i am not much into alcohol. Thursday, April 16, 2009. The next...

Ysaw: Missing dog
http://texasmantis.blogspot.com/2009/04/missing-dog.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Lost and found dog. We bought a 8-week old. It took about 3 months before Gizmo started to shed her "baby hair". I remember my wife and son went back to Hong Kong that year (2006). When they returned, Gizmo has transformed into a mature dog (see last pic below). My niece who was staying with us then thought i actually bought a new dog! Of course as she grew we get more attached to her. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bug hunt in TX.

Ysaw: Building light trap for bugs.......
http://texasmantis.blogspot.com/2009/04/building-light-trap-for-bugs.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Building light trap for bugs. It is always fun building your own stuff ……………. I never considered myself a builder. However, I have fun when it comes to building something to trap bugs. Recently, I have a chance to build one that is easy to assemble and at the same time stable. So let’s start shopping for it! You can get all the following items in most of the hardware shops. Two 1-¼” x 3’ PVC sch.40 - These form the “sleeve” to the two 1” sch&...Two threaded metal handle (Hook) nut...
