: Sounds like the Rice Bugs we used to see back in the Nam. The locals hunted
: them as a delicacy. Fried, over easy or the hard core just bit their heads
: off and......... Well, that's another story all together. If we could
: catch them, they'd pay us a nickle a piece for them..... alive. They'd eat
: lots of rice all day and then fly up around our flight-line ( stadium )
: lights until they got drunk from ferminted rice and then dropped wherever
: they ran out of gas. Money to be made there!!

: Do those critters have horns ( beaks to crack the rice hulls )??? Could be
: imported. :)

: Wow!! Those were the days....

Hey, Rehd,
You should mention that they come flying all over the place just before typhoon hit landmass. In face, you can predict how big the typhoon will be by the numbers and the way they fly. Boy, the sound they made was scary when they buzzed you close by when you tried to sleep.
