I've seen that kind of thing. There is a scent that attracts
some kind of insect. The dead insects collect in the bag. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "gore" wrote in message ... It doesn't look very decorative so I think it must serve some other purpose. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...d/greenbag.jpg Thanks, Shane |

Thanks, Shane I tried those once - they seemed to attract every Japanese beetle for miles around - I could see them coming across several neighbors' yards. Later read that they aren't effective unless used over a wide area, because they have such an attractant. Enjoy. ![]() |

OK, now why does it have to come to this. I would go to my neighbors house and ask him this (we are on good terms), but he is disabled. It would take him a lot longer to answer the door or the telephone than it did for me to post on Usenet. As a matter of fact it was a lot easier for me to post this on Usenet just like it is a lot easier for a douchebag to talk **** to someone behind a monitor on Usenet. I was just curious and you didn't have the answer. **** off! Thanks, Shane |

You had no grounds for an attack because you had no answer, in which case you should have just kept your mouth shut. I **** on your refund and your group treasury. I don't need any of it.

Second thought, don't get a Japanese bug bag. You need to
learn some manners, and the Japanese are very good at teaching manners to those who are willing to listen. Having some Japanese bugs around may do you some good. -- Christopher A.

Geesh! Why not just ask next time you cross outdoors? Maybe answer is neighbor doesn't want anything to do with people who covertly take pics of them/property/belongings. Well, I wouldn't anyway. |

Like you, I assumed A) the neighbor was new and the OP didn't know him well
enough to ask about it, or B) there was some sort of neighborhood feud and the real concern was that the device was something used to gather data for the neighbor's use in doing battle (or worse!)
