Today, I collected asparagus beetle grubs and gave them to the chickens. I think they ate them, but they weren't excited about it. This was the first time, so maybe they'll be more appreciative next time.
I took a wide mouthed plastic container and a small pair of scissors to the asparagus patch. I snipped the bit of frond that had the grub on it, letting it fall in the container. I had a decent amount, even though I think (hope!) the asparagus beetle season is winding down. I've been squishing them daily.
We'll be getting the Japanese Beetles soon. Free chickie snack! Hey, I gotta put a positive spin on those bugs.
