leftovers from traps

[foxxdoc]

Dried bugs are now a hot item as feeders for birds including chickens and lizards.

Leroy; ever sell leftover trap bugs  ? at the feed and pet stores they are not cheap.

Our cat loves to sit and watch the local cardinal come and rip apart left over moths and stuff. Nothing likes to eat the fishflies.

I imagine that whatever is used in kill traps may not be good for pets.

Chuck, your mention of a cat reminded me of the summer I spent in Indiana. My girlfriend just had to bring home a kitten, I had to
compete with that critter- and I like cats, but not when they bite my feet, or eat everything that flew in if I wasn't right there
watching, and trying to keep it from biting my feet...I don't know how many times I'd pour a beer on that cat. Then there were the skunks
that ran of with the plastic net around my UV tube.
I did have some great collecting moments there as it was, much different than Oregon.

I have been ask this question a dozen times or more. When I use Light Traps, I have at least a dozen or more individuals who have ask for the left overs from my traps, including some of my loadist critics on Insectnet..

Currently I give the dregs from my traps to just three individuals. Only one is on Insectnet. I have removed all of my critics from my list.

I will be heading west shortly. All of the dregs and left over insects from my traps are spoken for.

And lastly, I will be moving back to Florida later this year. Hopefully to the Gainesville or Lake Worth area's of Florida.

Gainsville makes sense. access to the collections at U of F. They offer special deals on classes to senior citizens.

I have a large platform in a huge Black Locust tree in my back yard. I dump all the left overs from my Light Traps onto the platform. Between the Birds, Ground Squirrels and Vespidea there is little left by sun down.
