Athena, the June Bug Slayer
Jun. 29th, 2008 05:10 pm <lj-cut>
I live in Texas. Now in June here we have a brown beetle we call a June Bug. During the month of June it flys all over the place. Lights attract it at night. We just happen to have a dog door leading from our kitchen into the back yard. This door dog faces the north which is a bit of a problem. The dog door has been blowing open when the wind is out of the North. Lights on in the evening inside the kitchen draws the bugs and those stupid bugs fly right in the dog door. Funny thing is watching my female basenij, Athena, chasing them all over the kitchen. She kills them, but unlike vampires, they do not go poof into a cloud of dust. So each morning I have to sweep up dead bugs across the kitchen floor. This morning I counted eight of them dead on the floor. Not my favorite thing to find early in the morning. So that is the story of my own personal June Bug Slayer, Athena.
