I was cleaning out the garden and I must of disturbed her. I carefully put her on the top of the fence- she turned and tried to bite me. I think they are fascinating so I got a closer look but I obviuosly pissed her off because she ran down the fence and batted at my face with her hooks. I moved in the other direction and she ran the other way after me about to fall off as she leaned and kept batting at me. I left her alone after that. I also was taught long ago that they were protected and it is illegal to kill them but I don't know about now.Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824015.post-37979360009787628052008-09-20T16:09:00.000-04:002008-09-20T16:09:00.000-04:00what the heck are you talking about? illegal to k...what the heck are you talking about? illegal to kill them? they are insects!

I used to think as you do.. that they were kind and peaceful until it jumped on me in college. something that strong that would not let my sweater go.....bad news. i th ink the pet you had was just layign in wait for the right time to attack. just look at what it did to that poor humming bird. they are predators at the top of the insect food chain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824015.post-48105752044321764022007-09-27T19:29:00.000-04:002007-09-27T19:29:00.000-04:00Hello this is David's friend.
