We used tp catch jarsful of em and then take the lids off and leave the jars 0n the porch at bedtime. In the morning they'd be empty, except for the strange smell. `©∂†ß0X∑®https://www.blogger.com/profile/07840565734151807057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372440.post-63125978076820579042013-05-26T06:01:30.751-07:002013-05-26T06:01:30.751-07:00Dave, that's a very good question.

There seem to be few of them around anymore. A year or two ago, they seemed to make a special appearance that brought out a neighbor kid to catch some.

Beautiful swallowtail butterflies were practically everywhere and it was fun going down to the local creeks to do some exploring.<br />I guess the people who had stifled the message warning of overpopulation back then have committed crimes against humanity.
