Since everybody is posting pix lately, I thought I'd add this one to the pile. This is the front end of my Disco after driving through a hay field a while back. In fact, by the time I took this picture, most of the little slimy things had already fallen off. Getting these little guys out of the engine compartment was a bit different than getting mud out! Maybe some of you entomologists out there can ID these critters.

Are those some kind of larva? They look like they would make a nice panfish bait...

Watch out for what's coming out of your vents too next time you turn your AC on.

geez that is alot of bugs! my question is how long did it take to glue them all on?

By KJ on Thursday, September 20, 2001 - 04:15 pm: Edit

I heard it's pretty fast if you use velcro.

What I really want to know is what kind of hay field has that kind of bug? I've never seen such a thing baled, though I do see the odd grasshopper or beetle. I hate to pay extra for maggots.

It was just plain 'ol Pennsylvania hay, not sure what kind, though.

I grew up playing in these hay fields, and never saw such critters, but then again I never played in these fields at 3AM, which is when I collected these guys. Maybe they only come out at night!

I probably traveled a grand total of about 1/4 mile through the hood-tall hay to get this many, but again, most of them had already fallen off when I took this picture.

Must be left over from "Fear Factor" on location. Why don't you gather up 6 contestants and tell them they have 3 minutes to "clean them off your hood and engine, but they must use only their mouths!"
