Do not eat your pet puffer. In consequence of their peculiar body plan, puffers do not swim as do most fish by curving and flexing the body. Most slow swimming is performed by the pectoral fins, with steering and stability provided by the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins.
Aphids in home gardens. Aphids are one of the most common insects found on plants. There are over 300 species of aphids found in Minnesota; they can be common in home gardens on vegetables, annuals and perennials.
Not my finest moment. TO FIX: To rid your plants of aphids, physically remove as many as possible by brushing or shaking them off. Then use a spray bottle with water to spritz off any hangers-on (they're sticky). Then fill that spray bottle with 4 cups of water and 4 drops of dish soap. Spray the leaves (make sure to get the under sides!) with the solution and rinse it off with clean water after 2 hours.
