Just wait until the horse flies comes around, then I really go crazy :-) :-) :-)<br /><br />Venus flytraps isn´t that common over here. They usually comes late spring. But they never have many since people thinks they are difficult to keep alive. It´s actually the opposite if one does as they teel us to do in the shop. No nutricion and very weat.<br /><br />Some kind of screen door is on its way, that´s for sure :-)<br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-75714141983467054022010-06-07T18:19:39.294+02:002010-06-07T18:19:39.294+02:00Hi Rox!

I love getting them but is useless sending them to others since I think all blogs I read are worth them :-) I´ll pop over to Your blog later then!<br /><br />Not all of us have our e-mail adresses on our blogs.

It attaches to the outside of your door frame with velcro and has an opening in the center that overlaps when closed. Very easy to put up and would certainly save you fly-catching time. <br /><br />How about a Venus Flytrap or two?

But how hard can it be making one? I´m really thinking of making at least one door screen.

I get the impression from reading various things that those are not so common in Europe.<br />I'm not sure screens are all that helpful sometimes so I also rely upon the local spiders. <br />What is the very interestingly patterned insect in the first photo?carynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948212455535029702.post-71879610747130638782010-06-06T15:42:51.721+02:002010-06-06T15:42:51.721+02:00Hi Z&M!

It´s still in very good shape, but no one uses it any more. It belongs to one of the forestowners that doesn´t live in the village.
