Bot Fly Larvae are a parasitic type of fly larvae. It all starts with a fly laying eggs in the mosquito. then the eggs atch underneath the mosquito's's wings and drop onto the host's skin. then the larvae start to grow burying into the ski and growing at an unreal rate. then when metamorphasized, the crawl out as a new bot fly.

Personal Ad

I enjoy long, squirley walks on the beach, getting humped in the rain and serendipitous encounters with cats. I really like piña coladas mixed with acid, and romantic, candle-lit people. I am well-read from Dr. Seuss to chuck norris. I travel frequently, especially to the moon, when I am not busy with work. (I am a kitten killer.) I am looking for sasquatch and beauty in the form of a pastafarian goddess. She should have the physique of jessica simpson and the squirle of lint. I would prefer if she knew how to cook, clean, and wash my toasts. I know I’m not very attractive in my picture, but it was taken 666 days ago, and I have since become more tubby.

A school bus crashed yesterday and 4 kids where killed in the accident. A van hit the bus, then the bus hit a truck and it tipped. The remaining 13 kids were treated at local hospitals. Im saying sorry out to the famalies who lost their loved ones.

Axolotls

I am planning to buy an axolotl, the white kind(or not). I will buy it from reptilecity.com. Axolotls are mudpuppies,hellbenders, etc. Sometimes salamander larva dont have metamorphisis and are considered axolotls. axolotl's gills are on the outside of thier bodies.

My favorite things

I like to go down to creeks, rivers, ponds,and pretty much any body of water. I like mudpuppies, salamanders, turtles, rats, axolotls, and fish. Reptiles are pretty cool too. I live near the Minnesota River. fishing is my favorite sport, it is very cool to me. my record fish is a 10 pound carp, it took me a long time to reel-in. I love hellbenders, they are soooooooooooo awsome. I hope that more people will view my blog a lot.

my salamander trap

noreply@blogger.com (zachamations) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 23:59:00 +0000

today I came up with a plan to catch a salamander.
1.first I got a sheet of tarp and 10 rocks.
2.next I dug a hole to put a plastic sheet in.
3.i cut a garbage and made it into a plastic sheet.
4.then I put the sheet into the hole and put six rocks(3 rocks on both long ends).
5.i made sure the plastic sheet could hold water.
6.i poured water into the plastic sheet witch was in the hole.
7.finally I put the tarp over the trap so it would be dark in the trap and put 1 rock on each corner.
now i am waiting till tomorrow to see what is in the trap.
