What is this green bag with a yellow top in my neighbors yard?

[gore]

It doesn't look very decorative so I think it must serve some other purpose.

Thanks, Shane

I've seen that kind of thing. There is a scent that attracts some kind of insect. The dead insects collect in the bag.

Maybe mind you own business and you won't be minding his?

[gore]

I thought it might be something like that. I wasn't sure if it was a mosquito collector or if it was for a certain kind of bug.

Thanks, Shane

That is a Japanese beetle trap.

I thought about that too, but curiosity got the better of me.

Thanks, Shane

AH HAH! That might be why I saw a Japanese beetle on the same window I took that picture from.Or, they saw some beetles on their windows and put the bag there.

Thanks, Shane

I tried those once - they seemed to attract every Japanese beetle for miles around - I could see them coming across several neighbors' yards. Later read that they aren't effective unless used over a wide area, because they have such an attractant. Enjoy. :o)

Is it a Japanese-beetle trap or a Japanese beetle-trap?

[Sanity]

Did it ever cross your mind to walk over to your neighbor and ask him? A hell of a lot easier than asking a whole bunch of strangers on the Usenet.

[Oren]

Why would he do that? The photo was behind the screen.

The poster could be deathly afraid of his neighbor.

[Phisherman]

Looks like a Japanese beetle trap.

How would Yoko Ono fit in the damn thing?

TDD

HAHA I know some Japanese women wrap their feet up real tight to keep them small. Feet first.

Thanks, Shane

A Japanese beetle trap, but they attract them to your yard, so you get more beetles. It should be put far away.

Bake a big ass plate of chocolate chip cookies. Go knock on the door, welcome to the neighborhood. And, by the way, what's that thing on the lawn that looks like a world war two bomb that got dropped from a green and yellow plane?

[Stormin Mormon]

Well, d'uh, for lard butt American beetles, you got to use a

33 gal trash can to fit em in.

[Stormin Mormon]

No damage done. Once in a while, I get to wondering about things. Lucky me, I'm a repairman, and I get to take stuff apart and see what makes it work.

[Stormin Mormon]

Please go ask your neighbor where he bought it, and go buy a couple for your yard. Then, say "Sayonara, beetle".

[Stormin Mormon]

Ah, but the bag is just in her memory. It's not life size.
