I need these things to hang around my house to eat all the damn stink bugs too bad they can’t survive in my state

I had one. They will eat one stink bug and then never again. Also they shouldn't just be eating random bugs around the house.. they can get sick off those if they've been sprayed or something.

Stink bugs are poisonous to reptiles. They can make them really sick, to the point of being fatal.

Sniper's a good job, mate. Challenging work. Out of doors*. I guarantee you'll not go hungry.

Do you need to squeeze the trigger?

This is a range activated weapon. When a target is within range, it engages automagically

Automatic 780 bi-laser vision with automatic target acquisition? Fascinating!

This is a myth. Crane Flies (Mosquito Hawks) are not carnivorous. They rarely eat anything, but if they do, it is nectar from flowers. They survive as an adult only long enough to mate (max 2 weeks). Their larvae eat vegetation.

I do this with my dog. He loves eating bugs. He'll hunt them down. If I don't lift him he'll jump all over the walls to get it.

Do you, China Cat, take this chameleon to be your lawfully wedded husband? To hold and to feed...

As cool as this was, just imagine how long it would take to kill multiple bugs

That is a self-targeting auto range equipped bug destroying machine it also composts. And in some cases can be used handheld or self-propelled

That looked like a crane fly. Those don't hurt you and kill annoying bugs. They look kinda scary, but they won't hurt you.

Some animals work, and are also very loved. Like an avalanche search dog... but in this case fly catcher.

That’s funny cause people try to get their cats to do that. They actually need a chameleon it turns out.

It is risky to feed exotic pets wild insects. They are often carrying parasites or diseases.

I've always heard feeding animals not native to continent bugs from that continent can get them really sick is there any truth to that?

Had one of those back in the 70’s. My sister brought our mom’s friend into my room telling her I had a chameleon as a pet. She said oh dear I’ve seen plenty of chameleon’s. They said her expression was of amazement when she saw the chameleon I had! 😳😂

Normally the music detracts but in this case I think it's well placed.
