OHHHH, Love bugs here, they come in swarms and are the hardest bugs to clean off the grille and front headlights of the cars and they will come in by the thousands. And they taste horrible when riding a bike! LOL

they are here year round, come wandering out into your house even dead of winter. A lot of research going into how to control them due to crop damage, they are working on a parasitic wasp that just lives off them, the wasp is from japan also.

Do you know I watched a show on farming about stink bugs and they showed up first a couple of years ago in PA and have been working there way south and and spreading out and right now they have something in testing that will kill them but is not ready to be released until they check what harm it does to beneficial bugs .They cause damage to fruit and lots of crops and you cannot tell until you bite into the fruit in most cases until it is to late and you get the bad taste in your mouth .It just shows in most cases as a small brown spot on the out side of the fruit .They destroyed things like corn and even tomato crops and other vegetable crops last year also

but corn snakes still wont eat fish.. unless maby you warmed the fish up a little and dangled it in frount of its face.... next itme you see the corn, pick it up, throw it in the water, and see what it does... it wont be hunting fish, it will swim to the closest ledge of the pond, get out, ,and go back to hunting it natural diet,,,, rodents.:)
