Te he Sledge! :hihi:
We have I would say at least 10,000 of the little devils all partying in our grass at the marina. I think we should give them an ASBO for collecting in large groups, and bumping into everything.

Hi everbody,
I have had loads of these in my garden and at night when the outside l;ight is on they tend to fly around it and come into the house when the door is open.
But i had four in the house the other night and on looking at them on the wall they were mating IN MY HOUSE AHHHHHHHHHH.
I picked them up still together and took them out into the garden.
But i am afraid the last three that came into my house were eaten by my dog and cat yukkkkkkkk what a life these insects lead. :D

my dog and cats eat them too
They don't seem to do much at all, except bounce around looking useless, but get ready for record numbers[/b]

Hi Bonkers mad,
My dog is worse than the cat as he spits the legs out so they are bungled up on the floor :o :o ahhhhhhhhhh not nice yukkkk he never eats them and it is vile.
I do try and stop the animals from eating them but it is so difficult because these insects are so clumsy.

HI all
I thought it was because we now have a garden instead of a yard that we were getting so many of these anoying flying thingies, i guess not, in an evening many have fallen in love with our wall lights only to touch the bulb get burnt and die, as we leave the back door slightly ajar for the darling cats who also like them as their new toys :rolleyes:
Love Muk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
