Lots of bugs about lately, those stinky kamemushi remind me of stinky blowies. Whatever happened to that fly?

'Tis the season!

I used to use my vacuum cleaner on those kamemushi, rendered it pretty much useless stunk so bad. I was just too lazy to get them proper ie: use sticky side of tape to apprehend without crushing.

3 years ago was a particularly bad kamemushi year. Can anybody clarify the old-timers tales? Do copious kamemushi really portend tons of pow this winter?

I don't remember 3 years ago working out that way...

think with the cool summer, the stinkbugs didn't really come out, not sure if that is a good omen or not for pow. as for any flies, haven't even seen any of them this year, maybe they are all in Aus for the Hokkaido summer?
