creatures around your house

The chickens love this chair so much they've about ruined it.
And they pay no attention to the cats.

last one of the night. Opossum I caught a few weeks ago that had 4 or 5 day old babies. It freaked the kids out when I showed them, they thought the babies were like other babies and were born bigger with fur.

And if any anilmal lovers are reading this I haven't killed all of the 30+ coons/possums I've caught this year, my son takes them out to the state park and lets them go, uhh at least that's what I tell him to do. I only kill the ones that I catch the day after I lose a chicken cause that's my policy.

Man now that's freaking cool
me and the neighbor kept having whole 30# & 50# bags of dog feed and 20# bags of cat feed carried off. It took me a while to catch him. Its been so dry and the ground here is hard red clay so no tracks to figure out what it was. Then my neighbor called at 1am one night to tell me there was something huge and black taking his hummingbird feeders down, busting open and drinking the nectar. I ran over and caught him. I wish I had grabbed my good camera but managed to get a pic with my cell phone.
 
I just live out in rural coweta county. I grew up on a cattle farm in Louisiana and didn't have as many different critters running about as I have here. I think # 6 is one of the yellow jacket nest I dug up. I hate those damn demon flying stingers. If you find the nest just pour a coke can of gas down the hole, the fumes kill them all and you can come back the next day and dig them up.

Also have these things by the hundreds in my yard, haven't seen these since I was in high school back in Louisiana.

I had a HUGE yellow jacket nest in my yard about 10-15 years ago. Can't remember the name of the poison I used but man did that stuff stink! I waited till shadows from the pine trees covered the 9" hole in the ground and all the bees went back in, poured that poison in a 5 gal bucket full of water, it was about one liter of poison and I was only supposed to use 1/4 cup. Mixed it up real good, poured it in the hole and covered it with the bucket. Went back the next morning and no bees came out. That nest was about 4 ft down and roughly 5-6 ft in diameter, thousands & thousands of dead bees from hell!

That thing in your hand looks like a freakin' locust. When I was a kid we used to see big ol' hoppers like that but not quite as big as that one, the ones I saw as a kid had a red streak on em' somewhere and they were real shiny black.

Those are called Lubbers or a Devils Horse. They actually have a poison foam that excrete from their hind legs.
I think the red striped ones are southern lubbers and yellow striped are eastern Lubbers
