Dave, you and those squash and pumpkins. I remember some years ago you highly recommended a huge squash, delicious tasting. I immediately got some seeds but the squash bugs got my squash. I think it might've been jarradale or something like that.(?) The pic you posted made me HAVE to have it.

I've used rye flour on my tater bugs! And like Trish says, it only worked on the soft-bodied stage. 'Tis great fun though, apparently they ingest the flour then it mixes with their body fluids and expands, POP! Pull up a yard chair, grab your beverage of choice, and listen to the sound of tater bugs popping! Kinda like some of my neighbors that sit on the porch and night and listen to their bug zapper light thingy, Bzzzzt! "Wow, Cletus, that there'n was a biggun!" :>)
