Cool pic, Sky -- where/what is that? How did those asymmetric, yet oddly perfect bubbles form?

we have a bunch of camel crickets in the basement. At least they don't make noise, but they are nasty. Jumping into laundry baskets, etc. Every once in a while, one will make it upstairs. Recently I decided to do something about it, so I bought a bunch of those sticky traps and just put them around on the floor. Here's the scene a couple days later.

and an overview of one of the sticky pads. I had no idea there were so many:

This was taken at South West Rocks, north NSW. A plank of wood washed up on the beach full of barnacles, i snapped this before they all let go and washed back to the sea....

That is truly nasty and the close up shot makes it almost creepy! All those little bug eyes, staring, looking...

Was there much wriggling?

eww glat eww Those insects!! ...they have huge eyes too.

@ pie... I found that picture someplace on the net. I don't have a 'good'camera so you'll all have to forgive me while I cheat.

I hesitated posting it, because it's so gross. That stuff that looks like hair is the antennae stuck to the glue pad.

Yes, a couple of them were still alive and would wiggle a little bit if you blew on them. Almost feel sorry for them.

One thing that's kinda neat is you can see how some of them got trapped. At the far end of the pad, there are a bunch lined up at the edge. Those guys just walked onto the pad and got stuck at the edge. They were all in contorted positions, because they tried to get free and got more stuck. Then there are others stuck in the middle. They were just hopping randomly around, and got stuck when they landed on the pad. They are stuck in a more natural position, because they plopped down and landed squarely on all feet at once.

Am I sick for analyzing this so much? I'm really pleased with the number I've caught. It's a drag to climb into the shower in the morning and have to kill one that's sitting in there. Especially if I don't have my contacts in yet. They hop fast.

A janitor's mop. It wasn't pleasant to get close to.
