Max does look happy. :)

I wish you could box some of those things up and send them to Cooper. :)

I CAN ;) :D - let them get a bit more in season- this was a early bird - and just so ya know - I only collect the ones under the giant mulberry trees, so they have only fed on mulberry tree roots :)
 
Looks Delicious!!!! Lucky guy.

How do you catch them? I wonder if there are any in NE PA, do they make sounds? I am all about catching free feeders.

OH, PA, WVA -
so yes =) , you have them - look at early evening , just at dark - they will be crawling up the trees - you have to let them come out of the shells over night- I use old hormworm containers - but dont flip it- so the bug will be on the lid in the AM - then just pick him off and feed it - they do make noise - WEEEEEEE UUUUUUUUUUU WEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu.... :p
 
I should add- mind where you collect - I would not use city bugs - our yard ( before it was a yard ) was a cow pasture for about 80 yrs- then let go, went to a woods, and we cleared it - I dont even know if you can find them in the city? I only collect the ones who are under the mulberry trees - :)
 
Cheryl, Cooper would be your best buddy for life. :)

ohhhhhh - then what can I send Teddy :D;) its a bit cold still , I am only getting one a night, but they will soon be out in droves - lol - all over everything - and I will get you a cup - I just hope they stay quiet in the postal box :eek: LOL
