Yes exactly like the ones I disturbed today. I I would have just gone in the house and got a jar, I could have easily captured them and either had my way with them or let them go in the lake.
‘I like bugs but do admit the buzzing in my palm kinda freaks me out a bit. I’m not sure if they bite but I’ve never been bitten yet and have grabbed a lot of them in the same way

Back in the 1940's my assigned job was to pick every last stinkin' Japanese beetle offa my Daddy's rose bushes. (They prefer roses to all other things...) I had a jar with a coupla inches of kerosene in it.

PEE-yew!! Japanese beetles stink like the Fleet Ditch when they die.

Dunno exactly why, but I feel like I wanna cry.
Perhaps it's the weeks long feeling of being under assault,
no escaping the smell of gun powder redolent in the air,
lack of sleep while trying my very best to comfort my
pup who's health is quickly declining and doesn't understand
the scary noises nor smells.

Where is the line to be drawn?
While some exercise their freedoms and others suffer for it.

Next time I see them Walt, I’m gonna go get my jar and capture them. Maybe torture them in captivity for a couple days while I check them out.

[jokerman]

[D. B. Doober]

Well the fireworks are up past my bedtime I go to bed like 8:00 9:00 could hear them off in the distance. Mom is always getting me new shirts. It's good to look sharp everyday.

 

[SubGirl]

Maryjane and Arlo did remarkably well during the fireworks. They were going off about two hours. Arlo I could tell was hearing them and did give a couple of quiet house wolf barks but saw that Maryjane and us were chill so he was too. My nextdoor neighbor who usually sets off bombs was out of town so we were not challenged with that. My old dogs BB and Penny hated fireworks and thunderstorms. It was all I could do to keep them calm. I feel blessed without that extra stress and feel bad for those doggos and their owners that had a hard time last night

That’s a great way to drive them crazy before I let them go

Morning OFC. Nice and cool start to my day. Things have certainly settled down since late last night. I swear some people wait until midnight to set off the loudest boomers.

 

[Boo]
