Dear Ones,

I had an awful encounter with Ants in my house last night. It was the first full blown Ant attack of the season. Last night I learned quite a bit about the local Ants that may be of use to each of you if you need to deal with Ant invasions inside your house.

What I faced last night clearly represents upcoming trouble for all telepaths and empaths. If you are not yet gifted with these Ascension skills, please overlook or place in abeyance what you read that has to do with this special class of people.

I say this because all of us humans are, as part of the Ascension process, quite likely to develop the gifts of telepathy and empathy. So your time for this may be in the works, though not quite here and now.

. . . . .

I learned some things about Ants last night on the telepathic plane. Just in case these are true, we need to take them into consideration. Here goes …

At about 2 am as I lay sleepless in bed, I felt as if I were inside the body of the Queen Ant. I could feel a ticklish pulsing in my abdomen. Then I felt a wide hole at the bottom of my torso … at a location not in my human physical body.

All in a flash I knew that I was sensing the Ant Queen herself laying a huge number of eggs somewhere in my house. Taking advantage of this ‘spy in the Queen’s throne room’ opportunity, I started plying the Ant Queen with questions.

The prior evening … the day after the fourth of July … there had been a big pool party at a nearby house. On the telepathic plane, there was quite a commotion. It seemed like sexual titillation was everywhere in the astral airs. At first I thought it might be my cat, or the Human Beings at the pool party.

Then by becoming one with the body of the Queen Ant … albeit briefly, and one might hope, never again … I realized the Ants were quite intelligent, and that they had laid a plan to use the moment of the climax of the pool party (which had been going on all afternoon, and into the early evening) as the time when the Ergatoid Male Ants or Wingless Drones would titillate the lower torso of the Queen Ant so that (according to them) birth hormones would be released inside her body.

This titillation process affected me very negatively as an empath. I don’t like Ants at all. I consider them to be one of the greatest competitors with Human Beings regarding biomass and food acquisition on Earth. The last thing I want to experience is titillation by Ergatoid Male Ants.

I would like to point out the cleverness of what the Ants did last night. They were trying to cause me emotional upset at the same time as the Ant eggs were laid. They were trying to set me against my house pets and my neighbors.

Another case in point: They told me they had chosen late afternoon and nighttime till daybreak as a time for activity in my home because I typically was tired or asleep during that time. They implied they might pick the inverse time for their activity in my home were I to change my sleeping schedule.

They were also creating wild stories about my family and friends and acquaintances, as if these were the source of the erotic disturbance they were creating.

This does not bode well for the emerging telepaths and empaths amongst us Earth humans. We are super sensitive Human Beings, yes? The Ants apparently know this, and are trying to use our hypersensitivity to their own ends.

As our psychic powers have increased, so have their own. Theirs is a hive mind, and many hives unite here locally in a 6000-member hiver supermind. As a telepath, I see this danger: They may be on the way to timing emotionally upsetting events amongst humankind. They may be attempting to turn neighbor against neighbor.

As people become more and more telepathic and empathic, we may see upflares of violence in our communities that are instigated by house-invading Drone Ants as a cover-up for their titillation of their Queen Ant preparatory to egg laying.

. . . . .

As I had found myself haplessly ‘inside’ the body of the Queen Ant last night, I found out quite a lot more about them. It varies so wildly from naturalist tradition that I feel certain you will disregard what I have to say. Nevertheless, I feel it vital that I at least attempt to inform each of you about what may be in store. Here goes …

I got up. I found there were Ants trying to get into the bowl of Cat food that I had placed inside a bowl of water (an ‘Ant Moat’) on the kitchen floor the prior night. I found out where the Ants were coming from. I used Dap Clear Kwik Seal Plus Premium Kitchen & Bath Adhesive Sealant to seal the tiny crack between the floor and the granite facing beneath the fireplace. [This is not a commercial, just a helpful hint. I have found that these Ants locally can chew right through the softer types of caulking that I first tried out against them.]

All Hell broke loose in Antdom. As I applied the caulking, the Ants behind the granite facing first cried out that they could see only a tiny bit of light. Then as I finished the work they said all the light was gone, that they had very little oxygen, and that they would soon die.

The Queen Ant told me that she had been selected to be Queen without her wanting to be Queen.

I asked how she had been chosen.

The Queen Ant said that the Drones had asked all the Ants questions to see which had the best answers about the best place to locate a colony and why. The Ant that was now Queen had responded that it would be best to be located near the Cat food and near the food bins for the Birds even though the Ants could not get into them just yet.

The Drones thus had chosen her as Queen. There were four Drones. They had inseminated her over an over again.

I asked why.

The Queen Ant said that the hormones they placed in her body through insemination stimulated her to become very large. She said that made it impossible for her to walk around anymore.

She said that, when she lost the ability to walk around she became ‘COVID-stricken’, that the other Ants did not like that, and that they chided her for feeling sad, and told her not to express that sentiment anymore.

I recalled I had been hearing that very conversation on the telepathic plane for about a month now, while I was working on my income taxes which, God be blessed!, are finally completed and sent off.

At the time, I … quite inappropriately … thought that the telepathic conversations were between me and my friends and family. This is a common failing of mine as a telepath, to take too personally the things that I hear on the telepathic plane. I am letting you know this, Dear Readers, so that you can avoid this pitfall that I fell into.

When I heard what I thought was myself being chided as COVID-stricken over and over again during June 2026, I got vexed. I don’t feel COVID-stricken! Why would people say that I was COVID-stricken? It just did not make sense. And clearly so, since it was the Drones talking to the Queen Ant, and not a question of my own failings at all. I hope each of you, Dear Readers, will never fall for that foible!

Getting back to my conversation with the Queen Ant …

The Queen Ant said she could hear her children crying out in pain and fear. She said they feared they were dying. She said the space she chose for the colony was too small … that there was really no air inside the space; the only air came in from outside the crack that I had just sealed off with the adhesive sealant.

I gathered all the Ants were about to die for lack of oxygen. It seemed they were being very quiet, both mentally and physically, to conserve oxygen and stave off suffocation.

I heard the voices of two Drones. They had different sorts of telepathic voices, just as humans have voices each of which can be distinguished from the voices of other humans.

The Drone that had started the conversation … perhaps the Drone-in-Charge, the Apex Drone as it were … ruminated that it might be best if the Drones were to eat the Queen Ant. This he began to do, starting at the bottom of her body.

I felt this or that small twinge in my own body, apparently through empathy with the Queen Ant.

The Queen and and the Drones were using Christian language, with references to God in a compassionate way, not a blasphemous way. I asked why.

The Queen Ant said they could not help but do so, considering they were living in a Christian house.

The Queen Ant said, “Oh God, he is eating me!”

The Apex Drone said to the other Drones: Do not eat her head. That way she can still talk to us and tell us what to do.

The Queen Ant apologized for having directed the colony to build in such a small place. One of the Drones said to write down, quickly, that the Ants must never build in such a small place.

I wondered where exactly they were ‘writing down’ this and other information that might be important to the survival of other (local?) Ant colonies. Did they have a way to write this information in the Akashic Records of Jupiter’s moon Io? …

Link: “Song of Jupiter’s Moon Io to Nourish and Uplift the Beings of Our Solar System,” by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 8 November 2016; updated on 6 July 2026 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-6nl ..

Were they imprinting the information on the local hive mind? What was up with this? … because it did not bode well that they might be able quickly to learn from current circumstances and then instantaneously change the behavior of perhaps 6000 Ant colonies accordingly.

Item in point: I asked the Queen Ant why she had chosen to build the colony in such a small space.

The Queen Ant said: No problem! We will just make smaller Ants.

That is another instance of instant adaptibility. We humans need to be aware of this and on the lookout for super intelligent changeups in Ant behavior as we war with the Ants for possession of our homes this summer.

I recalled having seen smaller Ants just a few days prior, so I knew that the Queen Ant was not just ‘whistling Dixie’ (not just ‘blowing it out through her nose’ ,,, I should say ‘blowing it out through her antennae’ as that is where Ant noses are located.)

I looked up in Google AI and found out some of the aspects I was discovering in the Ants in my house early this morning, before daylight, were similar to those attributed to Army Ants. I will put this information at the end of this post.

That got me worried, as I lay down on the couch in my living room for a little while last night, trying to figure out what was going on in the telepathic realm, and what to do about it. I dozed off, then awoke to ticklish sensations on my arm and neck. I had an awful feeling that the Ants were figuring out if I myself would make a good food source.

That reminded me of the Army Ant movie I had once seen, where the Army Ants of Central and South America rampaged through small villages of humans, eating every leaf and every being in their path, including all the humans …

Link: “The Naked Jungle (1954),” starring Charlton Heston, in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Jungle … COMMENTS: This movie really scared me as a child. Of course, the Ants in my home right now are not like that. Right?? –Alice B. Clagett

Maybe I was being a little too dramatic on that one. Maybe the tickling sensation I was feeling when I awoke on the sofa was just the Queen Ant being ministered to by members of her colony.

To get back to the death scene of the Ant Colony under the granite facing … You may recall that the Apex Drone had decided to eat the Queen Ant. He had started with the bottom of her torso.

Then after a little while the Apex Drone said: I can’t eat all this. Maybe I should eat her head.

The Queen Ant said: Oh God, he is going to eat my head.

A second Drone said: Then we will not be able to hear her anymore.

The Apex Drone began eating the fat flesh near the Queen Ant’s head.

The Queen Ant said: He is trying to get to the part [meaning nerves, I think] to cut, but there is so much flesh that he cannot find it.

The Apex Drone said: I can’t do that. Maybe I will eat her eyes.

I felt this to be ungentlemanly in the extreme. These Ants were not like Human Beings at all!

The Queen Ant did not in the least like the notion of having her eyes eaten, but the Apex Drone would not desist.

As his work proceeded apace, the Queen Ant said, in a soft, apologetic voice: I am sorry that I picked such a small place to build a colony.

That was when, as mentioned above, one of the Drones said to write down not to build a colony in a small space.

I asked the Queen Ant: How many colonies are there?

She said: There are five there [indicating the front of the house] and six … five [discounting her own colony] here.

Then as her agony grew, the Queen Ant said to the Apex Drone: I HATE you for this work.

Then she died.

The Ants said: Now we have no one to tell us what to do.

The Apex Drone said: That work is done. Much of her body is left. I can’t eat any more. That body will rot [presumably, and pollute the colony’s living space].

I said: Why did you not eat the rest of the Queen’s body?

The Apex Drone said: To be truthful, it does not taste that good. I guess it was all for nothing. Likely I will die anyway.

Then after a few more minutes all the Ant voices ceased.

. . . . .

I figure this is but the tip of the iceberg, and that there will be 10 more Ant outbreaks to deal with in the coming month.

The takeaway is that if unparalleled titillation pops up in the telepathic airs … particularly during a series of Earth-directed solar flare flurries, which make telepathy uncomfortably acute, then I will set my Wuben L50 1200-watt flashlight on the floor and check optically for backlit Ants marching here and there.

The Wuben L50 has better ‘throwing power’ than the Wuben C3 … in fact, much better. Consequently the L50 detects Ants at greater distances along the floor. I got mine at Amazon.com .. [This is not a commercial, just a helpful hint.]

CONCLUSION

I’m sorry to offer you all such lousy news about Ants. I wish it were not so that I had heard all this on the telepathic plane. I hope beyond hope that it may prove untrue.

And then on the other hand, especially for us telepaths and empaths, I feel forewarned is forearmed. Knowing about what may amount to considerable inconvenience and expense, not to mention a series of problematic tactical considerations in the territorial wars between Ants and humans … will allow us to be better prepared, should this post in part prove true.

Here are more scary movies about Ants. We can take them with a grain of salt … At least, so far, we can! …

  • “Legion of Fire: Killer Ants! (1998)” … aka “Marabunta” … South American Killer Ants invade a town
  • “Phase IV (1974)” … A cosmic event [not CME flurries, right?] changes Desert Ants into a hyper-intelligent Hive Mind that ruthlessly attacks a group of scientists. THIS sounds like last night!
  • “Glass Trap (2005)” … Hyper-aggressive Ants trap and terrify folks in a skyscaper!

, , , , , . .

Ants and Antians … and Insectians and Insectoids in general … are not my favorite Ascension topic. They are so very different from Human Beings! I have a hard time getting round that, though they can be quite beautiful to observe as the Naturalist that I am.

Ants and termites in particular, I find to be sexually and territorially way too aggressive to share their toys nicely with Human Beings. Correct me if I am wrong! They are, I feel, raping the resources of Earth without providing much in return to other Earth beings. Enough said!

So far, it has been far from possible for me to establish an accord with the local Ants regarding hands off my house! In prior years, for instance, a Drone would say: OK, we will leave your house. Then the next day his Colony would be back if force, having figured out a completely new battle plan in the nonce.

I asked Google AI: According to Ascension lore , are Ants from Alpha Centauri or Orion?

Google AI said: “In various New Age, esoteric, and “Ascension” spiritual traditions (like those popularized by channelers and contactees), Ants are generally described as a highly evolved extraterrestrial race. According to this specific lore, they originate from the Orion constellation, rather than Alpha Centauri …

These benevolent, highly evolved beings are often referred to as the Ant People (or sometimes the Oversoul of Ants) …

Here are a few common themes regarding this specific extraterrestrial lore:

  • Role in Ascension: The Ant People are frequently described as “master builders” and “seeders” of consciousness. They are said to assist developing worlds with sacred geometry, genetic design, and the understanding of the hive mind …
  • Starseed Origin: In certain spiritual communities, individuals who identify as having “Starseed” origins from the Ant People are believed to carry traits related to supreme organization, deep community focus, discipline, and collective problem-solving.
  • Orion Connection: While the Orion sector of space is widely debated in channeled lore as containing both positive and negative/warring factions, the Ant People are universally characterized as highly spiritual, peaceful, and constructive beings residing on higher dimensions.”

I take exception to this Ascension lore.

I know that Ants have many Star gifts that they may choose to share with Ascensioneers. But do they share them? Or do the wrest from us what is ours?

Yes, they are industrious. But their joys are few. Look what happened to the Queen Ant this morning, after she sacrificed all her happiness for the sake of her Colony! Where is the balance here? … the balance between Service to Others and Service to Self? In this regard, Ants have much to learn from Human Beings.

Yes, they are master builders, but not of human homes. It is the hope of the current crop of Ants local to my house that they may lay waste the human community and take over their homes and yards entirely.

We need to keep our heads straight about all this. It will take grim, stern-faced negotiations on our part to check their battle plans and arrange an Ant-Human Accord.

If it is true that Ants are from Orion, then let it be said that the Ants on Earth today are from a warring faction of beings there, not a peace-like faction. It is clear to me that they are overlit by non-Christed star beings, and not by Christed star beings.

. . . . . . .

I asked Google AI: What type of Ants impregnate the Queen.

Google AI said: “Queen Ants are impregnated by alate males (often called drones) during a synchronized mating event called a “nuptial flight”. These males emerge from surrounding colonies, mate with the queen mid-air, and die shortly after, leaving the queen with a lifetime supply of sperm …

Here are the details about the Ants involved in this process:

  1. The Males (Drones)
  • What they are: Males are fertile, winged Ants reared in the colony specifically for mating.
  • Their role: Their only biological purpose is to fly up during the nuptial swarm and mate with virgin queens. They typically die within a few hours or days after copulation …
  1. The Females (Queens/Princesses)
  • What they are: Virgin queens (sometimes called “princesses”) are born with wings. …
  • The Process: During warm, humid conditions—usually after rain—virgin queens from various nests take flight to prevent inbreeding. They mate with one or multiple males in the air, storing the sperm in a special internal pouch called a spermatheca. …
  • Post-Mating: Once successfully mated, the queen lands, sheds her wings, and either founds a brand-new colony alone or (in the case of certain species) is adopted by an existing colony. She uses the stored sperm to selectively fertilize her eggs for the rest of her life …”

. . . . . . .

I asked Google AI: Are there Drones that have no wings?

Google AI said: Yes, there are male Ants that completely lack wings. While the classic male “drone” is born with wings to take part in nuptial flights, certain Ant species have evolved permanently wingless males …

In biology, these wingless males are formally referred to as ergatoid males

Characteristics of Wingless (Ergatoid) Males

  • Worker-Like Appearance: The term “ergatoid” means “worker-like”. Because they do not need heavy flight muscles, their bodies look much more like standard, wingless worker Ants than typical wasps …
  • In-Nest Mating: Instead of flying away to mate, these wingless males remain inside or right outside their birth nest to mate with virgin queens from the same colony …
  • Extreme Competition: In species with wingless males, the males often engage in lethal, aggressive fights inside the nest. They use their mandibles to eliminate rival wingless males so they can secure exclusive mating rights with the available queens …

Species Examples

  • Cardiocondyla: This genus is famous for having two distinct types of males. A colony can produce standard winged males to fly away, alongside specialized wingless males that stay behind and violently fight each other for the resident queens.
  • Hypoponera: Many species in this group rely entirely on wingless, worker-like males that mate with their sister queens inside the dark safety of the nest, completely skipping the dangerous nuptial flight altogether.

. . . . . . .

I asked Google AI: Do Ants have noses?

Google AI said: “Ants do not have noses, but they have an extraordinary sense of smell. Instead of a nose, they use their flexible, elbowed antennae to detect odors, find food, and communicate with other Ants by picking up chemical signals called pheromones …

Ants are considered “super-smellers” of the insect world. The way their olfactory system works highlights a few fascinating details: …

  • Antennae Receptors: An Ant has hundreds of highly sensitive odor receptors concentrated on its antennae. Because the two antennae are spaced apart, they can smell directionally to track down food sources or follow a trail with pinpoint accuracy …
  • Decoding Messages: They do not just smell food; they smell their environment. Ants use their antennae to identify nest-mates, recognize the queen, detect enemies, and follow invisible pheromone trails left by other worker Ants ,,,]
  • Unique Colony Perfume: Every Ants colony has its own distinct “perfume” formed by a mixture of scents from the queen, fungus, and workers. If an ant detects a scent that does not match their colony’s signature, they immediately recognize the intruder as an enemy …”

COMMENTS: Conversely I note, from a prior conversation with Google AI, that Humans so far have not developed a way to sense the presence of formic acid on Ant trails or at Ant access points to homes. 

Oreo Shoes the Tux Cat, on the other hand, senses the presence of Ants quite well, and is sickened by the odor.

I experience a general sense of malaise. I am set on edge by this Ant odor that i nearly but not quite sense. –Alice B. Clagett

. . . . . . .

I asked Google AI: How large are Army Ants?

Google AI said: “The size of an army Ant depends heavily on its role or “caste” within the colony, ranging from 3 millimeters (0.1 inches) up to 50 millimeters (2 inches) long. …

Because army Ants are polymorphic, individuals within the same colony vary drastically in physical size: …

Army Ant Size by Caste

  • Minims (Minor Workers): These are the smallest Ants , measuring 3 to 7 mm (0.12 to 0.28 inches) long. They primarily tend to the larvae and care for the queen …
  • Media Workers: These intermediate Ants measure about 7 to 9 mm (0.28 to 0.35 inches) long. They handle day-to-day tasks like foraging and carrying food during raids …
  • Majors (Soldiers): These fierce defenders grow to 10 to 14 mm (0.39 to 0.55 inches) long. They are equipped with massively oversized, sickle-shaped jaws used to guard the colony …
  • Drones (Males): These winged Ants are exceptionally bulky, often reaching 20 to 30 mm (0.8 to 1.2 inches) in length. Due to their large, sausage-like shape, they are frequently called “sausage flies” …
  • Queens: The queens are the largest members by far. In African driver Ant species (Dorylus), a physics-defying queen swollen with eggs can measure up to 50 mm (2 inches) long, making her one of the largest Ants in the world …”

10-Lined June Beetle aka Watermelon Beetle and Beatles’ Era Music . photos by Alice B. Clagett

Dear Ones,

Since I saw a Paul McCartney lookalike … maybe an actor impersonator … in the lower parking lot of Malibu Creek State Park yesterday … parked just across from my favorite, shady parking place … I thought I would put these Beetle photos online for you, along with some music reminiscent of the Beatles’ era.

(Good pun, huh?) No more procrastinating!

This is the 10-Lined June Beetle, otherwise known as the Watermelon Beetle. It stopped by to say hi to Hermes the Peace Dove, and then took a nap there.

I feel this 10-Lined June Beetle has character. I liked the Beetle very much. I like Green June Beetles too, but I haven’t seen any this year. I hear their children eat the roots of lawn grass, but that is not an issue for me as I went ‘water wise’ a few years ago …

Orcutt Ranch 2: What Languages Do Songbirds Speak? . by Alice B. Clagett

  • INTRODUCTION
  • VIDEO BY ALICE
  • SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
  • VIDEO CREDITS
  • MORE INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a video in which I ask the Songbirds at Orcutt Ranch what languages they speak. This is the second in a video series filmed yesterday at Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California.

There is a Summary after the video …

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

In this video I’m just guessing at which Songbird is saying what. I name them Songbird 1, Songbird 2, etc. so that you will know different Songbirds are speaking. I do the same for the Coyotes.

“Orcutt Ranch 2: What Languages Do Songbirds Speak?”
By Alice B. Clagett

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

[I had just asked the Songbirds what languages they speak.]

Songbird to other Songbirds: She says what languages are we speaking?

Coyote to Songbird: Try ‘Ni hao ma?’ and then see how it goes.

Alice to Songbirds: I heard all these Birds talking.

Songbird to other Songbirds: Sweet Jesus, She hears us!

Alice to Songbird: Excited?

Songbird to Alice: Yeah!

Songbird to other Songbirds: Sweet Jesus, She wants to talk to us.

Alice to Songbirds: I hope everything’s ok with the Birds here.

Songbird to Alice: Yes, It really would be!

Coyote (repeating Songbird): Yes, it is ok.

Alice to Songbird: Good.

Songbird to other Songbirds: She says, Good!

Alice to Readers: Bird said … Songbird said ‘Yes, It really would be.’ Did you hear that?

Coyote 1 (pacing what he says to my footsteps … making fun of me): The … quality … of … my … life … would … be … not … so … good … right … now.

Coyote 2 to Songbird (simultaneously with Coyote 1, pacing what he says to my footsteps): Don’t … say … anything … to … her … about … what … we … are … saying.

Coyote 3 to Alice (simultaneously with Coyotes 1 and 2, speaking meanly): Jesus Christ, quite seriously, woman, stop saying that thing right now.

Hummingbird (poking fun at Coyote 3 by mimicking his sardonic tone of speech): She really will say ‘Ni hao ma?’ dammit.

One Coyote to the other Coyotes: They don’t hear everything that we say, do they?

Alice to Songbird: I heard that ‘Nin hao wa?’ [I am saying it incorrectly; it should be ‘Ni hao ma?’.]

Songbird to Coyote (mimicking his mean way of talking): She can’t hear everything.

Coyote to Songbird (getting ired up): W know all of that already, g-dd-mmit.

Alice to Readers (simultaneously with the end of Coyote’s speech): On the psychic plane I just asked the Songbird over there … I said: Do you speak Chinese?

The Songbird said: Yes.

And I said: Would you speak it now? [not really hoping for anything] …

And the Songbird said: Basically, We just say ‘Ni hao ma?’

Songbird to Alice (mockingly): Yeah!

Alice to Songbird: Did you say ‘Nin hao wa?’

Songbird to Alice (mockingly): God, Oh no, She said that really wrong.

Alice to Songbird: ‘Nin hao wa?’ Did I say that wrong?

Songbird to Alice (mockingly): Yeah, You did.

Alice to Songbird: Do you speak Spanish?

Songbird to Coyote (mockingly): She said that wrong and you said it right.

Coyote 1 to Songbird (regaining his good humor) All right, She said that Highfalutin thing in the wrong manner and I said it right.

Coyote 2 to Coyote 1: My God. I think she wants us to fart around with that idea.

Coyote 3 to Songbird 1: Say, ‘We do not speak very much of that language’.

Songbird 2 to Songbird 1: Try ‘¿Cómo estás?’ and see if she can say that.

Alice to Songbird 1: Did I say that right? ‘¿Cómo estás?’?

Songbird 1 to Songbird 2: Yeah, She said that right.

Alice to Readers (simultaneously): Songbirds speak Chinese and Spanish … and English.

Alice to Songbird 1: Do you speak other language? …

Coyote (maybe coaching the Songbird): I also speak Arabian.

Alice to Songbird (instead of Coyote, by mistake): Arabian!

Songbird 1 to Alice: No, I don’t.

Alice to Songbird 1: Anything else?

Songbird 1 to Alice: No I just speak Chinese, English and Spanish language.

Alice to Readers (simultaneously with the end of Songbird 1’s sentence): That’s it for this reservation. They call Orcutt Ranch their ‘reservation’. And in a way it is.

What do you think? … ‘Nin hao wa?’ [I am still saying it incorrectly; it should be ‘Ni hao ma?’.]

Songbird 1 to Alice: Tssssssk, d-mn you. That’s not right.

Alice to Songbird 1: ‘¿Cómo estás?’ … ‘¿Cómo estás?’ … I got it!

Songbird 2 to Alice: That’s right!

Alice to Readers: Can you hear them talking?

Alice to Songbird 2: ‘¿Cómo estás?’

Songbird 2 to Alice: Right. Right.

Alice to Songbird 2: ‘Nin hao wa?’

Songbird 2 to Alice: That … is … not … right.

Alice to Readers (speaking simultaneously with Songbird 2): ‘Right? … Nay’. That’s a tentative ‘Right’ from the Birds.

Alice to Songbirds: Is it the Birds talking?

Songbird 2 to Alice: Yeah.

Alice to Songbird 2: Songbirds?

Songbird 2 to Alice: Yeah, right.

Alice to Songbird 2: Is it the Squirrels talking?

Squirrel to Alice: D-mn you, That’s not us.

Alice to Readers (simultaneously with the end of the Squirrel’s speech): Squirrels are not talking.

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: I can’t get them [the Songbirds] to say any other languages. And I don’t know how to identify the languages.

Alice to Songbird: Do you know any other languages over here?

[Airplane goes overhead.]

Alice to Readers: They’re not talking.

I wonder what would happen if I went to a place where people spoke all different kinds of languages. What would the Birds be talking then? Would they know 20 languages, I wonder?

Songbird to Alice: Yeah, We would.

Alice to Songbird: You would? Twenty? That’s a lot of languages! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …

Songbird to Alice: Stop! That’s enough!

Alice to Songbird (continuing anyway):

6, 7, 9, 9, 10 … 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 ….

[Percussive slamming sound]

Alice to Songbird: I can’t count that high! That’s a lot of languages. You’re amazing beings, you know that? … You’re incredible.

Songbird 1 to Alice (embarrassed): Stop it!

Alice to Songbird 1: ‘Hao wa?’

Songbird 2 to Alice: Stop it, please!

Songbird 1 to Alice: Stop it!

Alice to Songbird 1 (misunderstanding what was said): ‘Hao wa?’ … Thank you … Thank you … ‘Como …’

Songbird 2 to Alice: Right, right, right, right.

Alice to Songbird 2: How did that go? ‘Right, right, right, right, right’? … ¿Cómo estás? … Got it. Ok … ¿Cómo …?

[Five hard banging sounds from the neighborhood of the community garden plots on the east side of Orcutt Ranch]

Alice to Songbird 2: ¿Cómo …? … ¿Cómo …?

Songbird 2 to Alice (speaking urgently): That man says, “Stop Stop Stop it’. I think he might be getting angry.

Alice to Songbird 2: Ok, ‘Don’t say, ‘Right right right right.’ … I think it’s ¿Cómo estás?

Songbird 2 to Alice: Right, right, right, right, right.

Alice to Songbird 2: Oh, Thank you! … Right, right, right, right?

Songbird 2 to Alice (losing interest): Right, right, right.

. . . . .

Alice to Readers: They [the Songbirds] are not speaking very loudly here. They’re very quiet here today. Early in the morning they’re not quiet.

Alice to Monarch Butterfly: Who is that?

Alice to herself: Where did that Butterfly go? …

Monarch Butterfly to Alice: I’m over here.

Alice to herself [spotting it flying off]: There it went.

Alice to Monarch Butterfly: Are you coming back this way? … No? …

Monarch Butterfly to Alice: No! I am not going back over there.

Alice to Monarch Butterfly (simultaneously with what the Butterfly is saying): Where did you go? … Oh, very beautiful!

Monarch Butterfly to Alice: I know that you are wondering why I am going over there …

Alice to Readers: It’s way over there.

. . . . .

Alice to another Songbird: Do you speak Chinese?

Songbird 1 to Songbird 2: She wants to know if we speak different types and different idioms of languages.

Songbird 2 to Songbird 1: Yeah, right.

Songbird 1 to Songbird 2: Idioms.

Songbird 2 to Songbird 1: Yeah, right.

Songbird 3 to Songbird 1: Tell her that you can speak it but she will not know it very well.

Alice to Songbird 3 (simultaneously with the second part of his sentence) You speak it and i don’t speak it?

Songbird 3 to Alice: Yep. You say ‘Nin hao wa?’ We say …

Alice to Songbird 3 (tentatively): ‘Nin hao wa?’

Songbird 3 to Alice: … ‘Ni hao ma?’

Alice to Songbird 1: Could you say that again, please?

Songbird 1 to Songbird 3: Wow.

Songbird 3 to Alice: I … said it … five or six … times … already.

Alice to Songbird 3: You said it six times already?

Songbird 3 to Alice: Right right.

Alice to Songbird 3: Oh, no!

Songbird 3 to Alice: Right. Right right.

Songbird 3 to Songbird 1: Said that five or six times.

Alice to Songbird 3: ‘Nin hao wa?’ Like that? ‘Nin hao wa?’ Like that? …

Songbird 3 to Alice: Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Alice to Songbird 3: Not like that?

Another Songbird to Songbird 1 (giving up): Tell here ‘right right right’. Then she might stop it.

Coyote to Songbird: Tell her this is not that normal language. You’ve got to speak softly and in that cliipped language.

Alice to Coyote: Ok. Speaking pleasantly and with clipped accent: ‘Nin . hao . wa?’ … Not like that either? … [Giving up.] … Do you know how to speak Spanish?

Coyote, coaching Songbird: No, I don’t know how to speak Spanish all that well.

Songbird to Coyote (slightly irritated): Yes! I do! … [flying away] … Right! … Yeah, I do. Yes, I do.

Alice to Readers: Oh, They do. This one [this Bird] just flew away. I’ll try again in a minute.

So that Songbird just said I’m not speaking Chinese words right. It said, “Speak softly and like chirping.” And then I tried it and it flew away, it was so disgusted with my pronunciation.

Alice to Songbird: Very disgusted!

Songbird to Alice: Yep!

Alice to Songbird: Right!

. . . . .

Alice to Songbird: Did you want to talk?

Songbird to Alice: Nope.

Alice to Songbird: What kind of languages do you speak?

Songbird to Alice: Just Puerto Rican.

Alice to Songbird: You only speak Puerto Rican?! I’ll be hornswoggled! … Like what?

Woodpecker to Alice: That guy does not want to chatter.

Alice to Readers: Ok. Ok, just don’t want to talk to me. That was telepathic. Something’s up. Got to go. [There is a] Man there who is Puerto Rican, and he taught them to speak Puerto Rican. That was what they were thinking over, but they weren’t saying it very much. They were just thinking it.

[I am walking.]

Alice to Readers: I don’t know! In the thundery air it seemed like I was speaking to Hawk. And it said, almost telepathically it said: This is Hawk. I will speak my mind, and then I will let you go.

Sounds more like Owl to me.

Anyway, this mysterious being said: Speak your words and then let them go.

I could translate that into human English: “Don’t keep badgering me.” I think I got that right.

It’s never too late to learn something from the Birds.

God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light and joy,

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here is a video about a Praying Mantis that cannot get into the car to get away from me, although it can see the interior of the car clearly. It can’t figure out yet about the transparent quality of glass, which is a barrier preventing it from entry into the car …

There are no words to speak of in the video, so the Summary consists mostly of photos …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

“Praying Mantis”
By Alice B. Clagett

Praying Mantis [on spotting me, in a high-pitched, moaning shriek]: O-o-o-h No-o!  [Then a quick, high-pitched exclamation] Help me!

Alice to Praying Mantis: Mayday!

Praying Mantis to Alice [in a quick, high-pitched voice]: Yes!

[Caption: Tapping glass with left foreleg and then with left middle leg … maybe trying to find a toehold.]

Praying Mantis [in a quick, high-pitched, tinny, distressed voice] I can’t get in!

Praying Mantis [uttering a metallic, ‘shirring’ distress call; sounds a little like the call of a Cicada]: Please help me! Please! Oh God!

Praying Mantis [melodiously, starting quietly and ending in a loud voice]:What am I going to DO-O-O-O?

[Then high-pitched, sharply vocalizing]: GREAT God. Help me!

[Then, with the camcorder turned off, I lifted the Praying Mantis tenderly and put it on a nearby tree trunk. I had to do this very carefully, as they have ‘velcro’ on their toenails, and it will hurt their legs to pick them up before their toenails are detached from whatever they are standing on.]
