If you very gently use a twig you can manoeuvre the leading one around and eventually tag it on to the end one and they will happily walk in a circle for days!

Are they the ones that can spit poison at you?
We were told they can blind you if they hit you in the eyes.
Apparently it's their protection from birds.
