Life and death

At home, at last.

Winter bugs. I normally select bugs for exclusion from the house by either capturing them in a plastic cup and then slipping a colorful postcard of sunlit New Mexico over the open part, so as not to hurt the creature, or by just catching them in my hand if they seem not too delicate or homicidal.
