Amazing catch Trudi! I guess they drink, but I’m not sure they drink plain water! Lot’s of times they want to share my drink and that is mostly not water…lol!

Thanks very much Anne-Marie, yeah you have to be careful with cans of drink that they don’t crawl in, the last thing you want to do is swallow one of these horrors !
