So, my pictures aren't as amazing as Larry's, but I still wanted to share this.
My bical is buzzing with activity! (the pitcher pictured also houses a little green spider under the lid- where it's poofed to, I don't know. I wanted a picture of it chillin under the lid though and I'd call the...

Something not often seen and guys I am not setting this up, it went in naturally.
