    I try, or least I am still trying [according to herself]

    interesting [?] fact:

    beatrice is derived from latin and can be translated as bringer of joy
    xara is derived from [ancient] greek and can be translated as joy

    Thanks all for comments. Much appreciated.

    Here's another bug (common green shieldbug). It just dropped out the air landing on my phone screen for a few moments. It's right antenna was quite bent, but it didn't seemed bothered (as far as I could tell!). Anyway after a few quick calls and browse on the internet it went on it's way.

    Behzad, I think this one is known a ‘stinkbug’ in your part of the world. It has special glands that can release a pungent defensive smell if handled roughly. I’m fairly sure your cucumbers will be ok from this one.

    I have not squished one yet. I pray this year they do not come back. Right now I am chasing rabbits and squirrels. I have no peace
