Moles (animal)

On the list of burrowing rodents is the mole, whose original name in Germany and Scandinavia means 'dirt tosser'. The mole uses its toxic saliva to paralyze earthworms, of which thousands then can be stored in underground larders for fresh eating. Contributors typically want to know about the mole's environmental role in opening air passageways underground, geographic ranges, most effective controls by gardeners, and predator/prey roles within soil food webs and surface food chains.

Someone called you a mole what does that mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Normally when a person is referred to as a 'mole', it means they are a spy, someone infiltrating a group or organisation in order to dig for information about them.

However it could also be that when someone is being called a mole, it's referring to them being small and hairy, or they have a big nose, etc, comparing the person to a mole's characteristics. Apart from that, it doesn't have any deeper meaning.

Is there a place in Connecticut that is like Stars Hollow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although there isn't an exact replica of Stars Hollow from "Gilmore Girls" in Connecticut, the town of Washington Depot is said to have inspired the setting for the show. It has a charming New England vibe with a quaint main street, historic buildings, and a close-knit community similar to Stars Hollow. It's worth a visit for fans of the show looking to experience that small-town feel.

"yes u stupit child how do u think it gets around if its blind"

Moles aren't actually blind!!!!!!!!! The European mole anyway! They have really good senses - excellent sense of smell, and touch, which more than makes up for their lack of sight.

Furthermore, people aren't stupid for asking a question they do not know the answer too.

Asked by Wiki User

Last night while my family and I were smoking outside I heard a huge bug fly close near my thigh, it flew back and rammed me as if out of spite. It was on the ground it then got up flew towards the fluorescent light when my brother tried to slap ot out of the air it then came toward him then backed up I guess to gain some speed to ram him like it did to my thigh earlier. My brother continued to slap at it, it then started making noises, my brother described it as a "pig noise" a snort or a growl because we were hitting at it. It was the biggest ugliest most disgusting insect I ever saw and it INDEED growled at us.

Asked by Wiki User

Mothballs may or may not keep wild pigs out of plants. Pigs are smarter than moths, so they may find a way around them to eat the plants. Mothballs can be toxic to them, which may kill them in the process, too.

The chances of being bitten by a mole? I suppose if you are a mole-catcher and carelessly grabbed a trapped one that's still alive, it may bite you in self-defence... Otherwise....
