did anybody know that a group of them is called a buisness?

Yes - but thats probably because im a regular quizzer.

Apart from cherry shrimps, i dont have any other pets at the moment but i have had other stuff in the past - bird-eating spider, stick insects, silk moths, hawk moths, axolotol, newts, water scorpion, great diving water beetle....

If I lived alone, I would have a white duck a la Far Side. Maybe a skunk too. But all I have is a hubby named Joe and two very busy indoor cats. I have several dust-bunnies as well.

Outside is a different story, eastern painted turtles decorate my lawn once a year like a thousand coins and 46 species of birds. Lots of other reptile, insect and amphibian critters. The bluejays and crows *Think* they're my pets They give you 'the look' from the windowsill if you don't hear them the first time and come running with the peanuts. Ditto for the chipmunks.

Richard B: Just had a news story last week with people suggesting names for a group of lobsters. If there's a correct answer, no one knew it, was very funny. a boil, a claw-ster, a clique, a trap etc.

A group of lobsters is a swarm, or a clique, but a group af bears is a coven, a group of crows is a murder, and a group of politicians is a conspiracy.

You had a pet bat? Mega or microchiroptera? If micro, how did you feet it?

My menagerie...

I was 19 when I had the bat. I would assume (based on his size) that he was microchiroptera. A buddy picked him off of the side of our barracks and brought him to me in a paper grocery bag (that I thought was empty, until I looked inside). Because I didn't know what to feed him, I just offered him a little of everything I could think of, fruit, veggies, meal worms, and crickets. 24 years later, I don't remember which he prefered.
