My mil uses them in her basement too, as dehumidifiers.

It's gorgeous. I want a crate of them.

How much for a crate of those glorious orbs shipped to Wyoming ?

I'm pretty sure all the arthropod stuff originated on a homebirth message board.

Exactly.

What do you think people did before Hobby Lobby?

They used natural stuff for home decor.
