What are your favorite bugs to shoot? Mine? Has to be the lovely cicadas I got in West Virginia. Yours? Are they feared? Large or small? Dangerous or just gross?

I get these in my yard every year...hundreds ..their huge (3in) and eat all the leaves off most plants. They are poisonous to eat and have no known predators. Even the ants wont touch them if you kill them and put them on the ant hill. I usually grab them with my hand and bounce them off a pine tree like a major league pitcher. I have shot a few just for fun. When they are baby's they are black with a yellow stripe and most susceptible to spraying with insecticide.

Those bug-a-salt guns, suck, we bought a couple of the “ high power “ ones and you have to be within three inches of a fly to even mess its wings up so it can’t fly. Forget about and thing bigger “ tougher “ then a fly.

I do shoot flies also. Sometimes they have a habit of landing and crawling around on the white paper target, and my backyard range is 25m

Still laughing at this one. I can just see some PETA person throwing a bucket of blood
on you for this atrocity hahaUpvote 0
As kids in probably second grade we grew up shooting those with our Daisy BB Guns, wandering around the neighborhood. It's crazy how accurate we got with those things.

Hate ticks, but I’ve got no way to lure them in. I had a old friend from high school get misdiagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, for two years, and they finally got it right(the Dr’s) and said it was Lyme Disease. By then it was too late. He lived for another 5 years before everything shut down. Talk about a horrific way to end up, before passing away.
Yeah, I hate ticks.

I like shooting flys and yellow jackets. Nothing like a dead rodent to bring em in, I wire a squirrel carcass to the target. Great fun.
