shift in wife's CP attitude

Hi all:

Just wanted to drop you an amusing line. When I finished
building my greenhouse, I put my handful of CPs inside.
I began finding bugs to feed to the Nepenthes and the
Drosera. Now, after a few weeks, my wife no longer throws
household bugs away. When she finds bugs and smashes them,
or finds recently croaked bugs on the windowsills, she immediately
lets me know so I can collect them and feed them to the CPs.
It saves her from having to patrol and clean for "ooky" bugs
in the house. Now she's finding bugs in the bathroom, and
leaving the dead critters on the sink shelf on a piece of
TP so I can dispose of them. My mother-in-law recently visited
and was surprised to see a note covered with dead bugs on a
kitchen counter. It read "Do not throw away!" My wife did
not have time to write down the reason why, which left her
mom a little mystified until I came home.
