Speaking of Technological Marvels...

The old way things worked: soda bottles, sore backs, sticky fingers, and bad odors.

Let me introduce you to ground-breaking inventor Conrad Martin, as well as his latest invention of the Potato-Bug-Sucker-Machine!

Here's the new way things work:

Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Going... going...

Gone!

Warning: A willing (and patient) assistant to hold the bottle upright and keep a lookout for the bugs being missed is a vital component of this wonder machine (and, at present, is not available for purchase at any known location ;).

Yeah, there's a few bugs in the system...

...but nothing a little duct tape won't fix.

Mom waxes eloquent on the follies of the wonder machine. :-)
