Luvachicken Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Cruel I know, but I couldn't resist giving the Maybug I had caught to the girls. Myrtle moved quicker than the speed of light to get it, and you could hear it kind of flicking on the floor as she threw it around. But she did enjoy it and Melody did get a little bit too. Tonight I think I might be really mean and catch the ones that bang into my windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superkitty Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I remember getting swarmed by may bugs the summer after I moved out from home...I had never seen anything like them before and was a bit freaked out by them all battering against the window and laying all over the balcony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 They do seem to get a bit stuck once they are upsidedown Their proper name is a cockchafer. They are pretty gruesome and have funny little feelers on their head. Still they make a nice chicken snack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benaberry Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just googled them - eeuw think I would have done the same as you . Husband inadvertantly caused a feeding frenzy last night by throwing some snails into the WIR at bedtime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
