Yes sir! There's lots of recipes online or in books you should check out. Kudos for being the first all over.

Oh you make your own? I'm the first person to know what it is in my circle of friends and family too!

Thats the stuff. Slightly gross looking to make but super healthy for your body. I think you're the first person to know what Kombucha is!

Crazy battle of the insects! Kombucha eh, is that after that fermented tea drink? I just tried it last week. Pretty invigorating stuff!

Gypsy Moths and their caterpillars do not bite but they can be extremely destructive to trees in areas where they are (the caterpillars) due to high numbers. Here is more info on the gypsy moth: http://bugguide.net/node/view/8780

Yeah he certainly did a good job! Thank you for identifying it for me. Do the gypsy moths bite?

I want to give this little jumping spider a high-five. Gypsy moths are extremely invasive and destructive. I would recommend extinguishing any more gypsy moths you find.
