I'll be commenting on it here (and there, but briefly) tomorrow, I think.<BR/><BR/>By the way, if you use water, make sure it's not freshly-drawn tap water. Something, I think it's the chlorine, makes some of the smaller critters curl up and die.<BR/><BR/>Chalain;<BR/>"Sharpened toothpick"; heh heh!<BR/><BR/>Snail;<BR/>Thanks for the tip; I'll clean the uphostery, too.

Shortly after I took that picture, it attacked a housefly, drained it of its blood, and then turned into the tiniest little bat you ever saw and then flew away.<BR/><BR/>(That was more fun to say than "yeah, I think it was the side view of the mandibles.)<BR/><BR/>We buried the housefly in the backyard with a wooden stake through its thorax to be on the safe side. Took me forever to sharpen the toothpick.<BR/><BR/>As for the sugar trick... <I>that's</I> clever.

It's a different species from yours, though.<BR/><BR/>http://somethingscrawlinginmyhair.com/2008/03/29/carpet-beetle-adult/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-54136786109992844742008-03-29T07:46:00.000-07:002008-03-29T07:46:00.000-07:00Well, I think I see what David Brady was seeing on...Well, I think I see what David Brady was seeing on his - it looks like he only saw <I>half</I> of the mandible. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of using water and sugar to get the little bugs to hold still.
