I just saw this info from Tanya on my other thread that I thought might help anyone interested in this thread.

What a relief!

Tanya, thank you so much for all that information. Your response has helped a lot and I really appreciate it.

Insects & trees

We live in American Samoa, a tiny rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but we are originally from New Zealand. My dd is 10 and my ds is 8. I have been lurking on these forums for a while and have become quite...
