Bug Watching Their loop-da-loop at night is like a sparklers show. Their light bodies leaving a trail of reflected glow. Big ones, littles ones, spinning all around. They head for the light and end up on the ground. Some make it there and that's when you'll see a little wisp of smoke as they meet their destiny. |

I say stomp them to the ground, exterminate them, fry them...I mean, those cute little critters  " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Irish Rose ~ hehehe  when you don't have a fireplace while camping (there's a fire-ban in my area) you tend to resort to other means. We ended up gazing at our Coleman's lamp...and so did millions of enthralled bugs!"Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

Hey Smitten,cute poem, I liked it but sweetie, we need to get you out more! (BTW, my daughter's nick-name is bug--you didn't happen to see her flittin' around your lantern did you? I've tried to break her of that--chuckle. |

I love bugs as long as they keep a comfortable distance, which they rarely have the good sense to do, so thanks for zapping a few. |

Constance ~ hehe, I hope you don't think I sit at home watching bugs all night! This was just a camping experience  And what a cute nickname...I'll keep an eye out for her next time and make sure she doesn't get too close to that light! Duncan ~ I love *some* bugs....and yes, they don't seem to have any sense of personal space do they? Thank you both for reading and taking time to share "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." ~Winnie the Pooh [This message has been edited by SmittenKitten (edited 08-09-2001).] |

Bugs are cool when they dance the dance of death, I think they think its a mating call. Throw your heart out in front of you |

You may be a red neck if your idea of entertainment is sitting on the porch with a cold beer watching the bug zapper. paladin |
