This was a good reminder, we went out tonight to catch a few!

We just did this last night- they were in our yard! Never recall seeing that before. Kids loved it. Go for a walk at dusk and keep your eyes open!

This! We get many in our yard but the immaculate yards do not. We also get more birds and butterflies.


Same! My Rockville yard is filled with them every year. My teens are sitting here now enjoying them while our puppy tries to catch them.
