October is a time to think about all the creepy, crawlies out there in the world and to embrace them with a little love. We may not usually think lovingly about spiders, snakes and frogs but now’s the time to point out a few problems we have in the planet today.
So many species have come and gone. It’s sad. We’ve all heard talk about endangered animals but have you ever looked into it?
Here’s a link that will show you ten of the most amazing animals that have gone extinct. But there are other animals out there that are in danger today. And, we can all do something about it.
Save the Frogs “STF”is a great example of one man’s quest to save the world – or, at least the frogs. If you’re at work, you’ll want to turn down your speakers before you click on this link to STF.
Even National Geographic has tried to increase the public awareness about the frog problem. You can read about it here.
I went to the Audubon Society in Portland to listen to Dr. Kriger speak about ways we can save the frogs in our own communities. He said we can volunteer and get involved in our own local groups to help animals.
So, I want to encourage everyone to get involved and, if you don’t have time to volunteer, at least remember this post and talk about it in your school, with your friends or even with your family because if we all do a little, it will do a lot.
I have to remind myself not to squash spiders when I see them in the house.
On the other hand, this is the time of year when houses around here in Virginia are invaded by lady beetles and stink bugs. Given that I can see a dozen or more stink bugs in any given day, I feel no qualms about dispatching those to the Great Beyond.
it’s time to enlist Kermit The Frog in saving his wild brethren.
