:( Wtf!

[Suzie]

Noone told me about the beetle problems that there is here in East TN! I suppose we are in what they call "beetle season". These things are insane. They dont care how hard they fly into you. I cleaned out the filter in my pool, and this is what I got. :yuk

 

[Mrs Behavin]

EEEWWWW!!!!m Im glad we dont have those buggers here!

 

[AUDRAA]

theyre actually kinda pretty, not in my hair or near me...... but in your bucket Im kinda digging them

 

[Suzie]

lol.. they are the most uglyest things Ive seen in my life. Maybe 1 or 2 around, wouldnt be so bad. But these things are everywhere I look. And they dont DIE just being in the water, those things can swim forever. They have to be sucked up by the filter. And they are too thick to step on

i hate beetles...we have a problem with them here too...my parents have them really bad where they are. They have beetle bags that the fill up with literally thousands of beetles...it's disgusting.

 

[Suzie]

My parents got one of those beetle bags today and they couldnt figure out how to put it together! haha! I read online where some people say that it helps...and other places say where it actually attracts more beetles. Im clueless on what to do... Ill probably just wait for this stupid beetle season to be done with!!!

 

[GuesSAngel]

yeah my dad said that he might do away with the bags b/c the bags are supposed to attract the beetles...so more just come flying!

 

[All Else Failed]

JUST ADD MILK! :winking:

 

[Suzie]

Im gonna hang one in my neighbors lawn (since shes on vacation), then when she comes back... I'll tell her we were trying to help her out and get rid of her beetles for her. :ninja

 

[GuesSAngel]

hahaha that's a good idea

 

[Jersey]

they do kinda look alittle bit pretty.... maybe its just cuz i like green :confused

 

[JuJu]

Hey Folks. :waving:

I'm new here so thought I'd start out here with the bugs. :eek

I used to have a pool and would get boocoos of beetles, but they were the regular brown ones not those pretty green ones. I used to take 'em to the front yard and feed 'em to the travellin' ducks from the park down the road from my house. Ducks love those kinda treats. I tried 'em once, they aren't that good. :yuk

 

[GuesSAngel]

haha ewww i wouldn't expect them to taste good. Never tried to feed a duck some bugs though...only bread.

 

[NightWarrior]

Ha! Welcome to the South. They are called Japanese beatles and will feed on any green leaf plants. What also sucks is they eat the heck out of your sod as larvae, they are Grubs as babies. Nice little things, aren't they?

 

[JuJu]

haha ewww i wouldn't expect them to taste good. Never tried to feed a duck some bugs though...only bread.

Yeah well, I'll eat bread especially with baon, lettuce 'n mater on it.

btw, y'all got a cool site here, cool smilies and alot of nice features.

I just gotta find my way around a little better so I can get comfy.
And thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it very much.

 

[Homer]

you are wrong those are June Bugs. and are about 3 times bigger then Japanese Beatles.

 

[NightWarrior]

you are wrong those are June Bugs.

Your right, I always confuse the two. Japanese beatles have the gold wings.

Either way, both are destructive creatures in the form of Grubs and adults.

 

[Suzie]

Actually I looked them up this AM to try and find out how to get rid em... and they are called Japanese Beetles. Its really hard to tell tho, cuz theres so many different kind of beetles out there. Anyway, anyone who thinks they are pretty, wants any, or just wants to feed them to ducks, Ill ship em to ya!

 

[AUDRAA]

our june bugs dont look like that :dunno

 

[NightWarrior]

our june bugs dont look like that :dunno

There are brown and green ones. I really thought they looked like Jap beetles though.
