These bugs are still here?

After eating a scrumptious spaghetti dinner, Alex stands up quickly and starts flailing his arms around his head and calmly announces that he's got a bug on his head. Of course, we looked to see where the bug might be, and it showed it's gruesome head on the side of his face, right between his eye and his ear. He kept feeling it and trying to brush it off, finally successful. We clapped with joy that he was free from this invader. I guess that 27 degrees is a balmy change from the 0 and below temperatures that we've encountered this last month, so the Japanese beetles little orange bodies have warmed enough to start moving again. We were so glad to see them come to life once again, being that we just can't get enough of these annoying little creatures brought to Missouri by a crazy Floridian. These little mockers of the friendly lady bug have no natural predators, they're almost impossible to eradicate, and they stink when brushed off any surface. They swarm when it's warm and huddle in the corners together when it's cold. That's the ideal time to attack - vacuum hose or torch. They both work. The vacuum is my preferred weapon. So, it's January after a month of below freezing temperatures which froze all our pipes but one, and yet these little buggers are still crawling around our place. That's perserverance for ya!
