Maddy, you wouldn't intentionally hurt a fly! People think more sugar
is better for their migration, but what most people don't realize (and
paggers many have listed this in her info) that hummingbirds get most
of their nurtition from insects, not nectar.
nah, there you have me totally wrong. I'm dead aim for flies..........I know
they have a place in the web of life, but I take 'em out with an old
fashioned swatter any chance I gets. I do capture wasps and bees though.
Although........those steroid mamma jamma's I just zap. They're too mean to
capture and release back outside. They turn on you and chase you back into
the house for just living in their neck of the woods. So I kill those that
wander inside upon occaison. I open a door and give them an opportunity
before I nuke them. But if you've ever seen a yellow hornet that is a good
three inches of fuzzy, pointy butted arrogance that only fears hawks and
larger birds.....................I had one trapped in a sconce light in my
hallway that leads from the nook to the kitchen on the opposite side of the
house and after opening the door to freedom, she proceeded to try and sting
her way out of the stained glass sconce. I decided that once she got out,
she'd sting someone, many many times. So I put her out. literally. man she
was a good 3 inches and had a stinger that gave me nightmares.

Yeek. However, you obviously never had an infestation of cicada
killers! Now that's a huge buzzer.
