Those things are a lot of fun for those big wood bees. Even if they don't sizzle, it is very satisfying to hear that "Ting" like a bad mitten racket and see them sail across the yard.
Sounds like fun. How close you got to be?well--it's like trick shooting [ or just about any of this weird crap you see people do ] some people do--if you do it '''everyday'', it's not that hard ...I learned where to aim
Yeah, we had blackberry bushes. They had MASSIVELY huge berries on them every year. And I loved to eat as many as I could.
One year, I was picking some, and started to put my hand through an opening in the vines to grab some berries............until I noticed this sitting there.........
It was as big as my hand!!! I ran into the garage and got a glass jar with a lid and scooped it up.
Took it to my science teacher at school the next day. She collected spider specimens.
After that, I looked VERY carefully at everything, BEFORE I put my hands anywhere near it!!!
Nah, Like Harmonica, but requiring less talent or skill.LOL! Yep. Does this make us baby serial killers?
Alcoholic flies aren't a big deal, it's the alcoholic bees, hornets and wasps that are more concerning. And down south, the fire ants too.
Those garden spiders look awful, but really just catch flies and other insects to wrap up and munched later.Yeah, we had blackberry bushes. They had MASSIVELY huge berries on them every year. And I loved to eat as many as I could.

....one time, around 1977, I killed 234 flies over the summer with a BB pistol .45 version
That kinda goes without saying for people like myself from NW Ohio.I live in the South...............more often than not, it's the drunk humans that you REALLY gotta watch out for!!!!
That's the wrong design. It's almost the opposite of a good effective fly trap because the mouth is too wide. They can easily escape.
1. sorry, but it's true---I would need a judges ruling on this one ...
Assuming your aim was good enough to hit the center mass of a a stationary 6mm fly with a 4.5mm BB ... BB guns have a muzzle velocity of around 200 feet per second (5ms/foot) ... a fly has a startle response of 20 milliseconds (five times faster than a human).
The fly would have time to notice the accelerated mass (flies have nearly 360 degree vision) and escape when the BB was only four feet away.
What was your shot to kill ratio?
see post # 53Sounds like fun. How close you got to be?
Still good sport at even a foot as long as you don't get a ricochet from whatever they're sitting on and put out an eye.see post # 53
LOL! Ack!
Fuckin bugs.
I'd eat a bowl of flies if I could never again deal with spiders.
Wait- that's a lie, but still.
When I was a kid, my cousin and I were out gathering blackberries for our gramma. We were eating a lot too, and with bad manners to boot.
I threw a handful in my face and immediately bit into some bitter, nasty assed beetle.
I'm sure I needed therapy, but hillbilly kids don't get that- they get "Now you go on and stop that throwing up and trembling before I give you something to tremble and throw up about.
probably was closer than a footStill good sport at even a foot as long as you don't get a ricochet from whatever they're sitting on and put out an eye.
The bug zapper bad mitten racket is the bomb!
Still the most fun way to kill bugs and flies.
You can easily drop em from as much as 3ft away.
