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! :lol:

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.
