The Squire and I take a walk around the complex every morning, and when we see a Japanese Lantern Fly, we stomp on it.
This morning saw one that we had killed yesterday, with a couple of slugs chowing down on it. We were nearly back to our starting point when I thought to ask The Squire if he had brought his cell phone. By the time we got back to the scene of the crime, all the evidence had been tampered with. There was absolutely nothing left of the fly and the slugs had all left.
We were both amazed. It had never occurred to either of us that slugs actually did anything useful!
