lyc: I left a citronella candle on my back porch that must have started melting in the heat yesterday. today there are about 100-200 little beetles

encased in the rehardened wax. bunch of dead ones lying around the outside on the table too.

I'm wondering if maybe one fell in and the rest of the deceased were members of a completely failed rescue attempt, or do beetles go coo-coo over citronella and ate till they died

  - a. the color could still attract them b. the melting in the sun makes it sticky, c. random movement of beetles - zeitgeist Jul 11, 11:28
or they followed like lemmings -- nm - JenBro Jul 11, 11:06
They came for the funeral of their friends. -- nm - TWuG Jul 11, 11:06
