[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 166524, member: 2509"] The "staggering drunk" is often a pretty good indication that insecticides have started to paralyze the insect. The danger of insecticides on cultivated plants is much greater than for garden insects. If you catch an insect flying or trotting around in the garden and keep it in a jar until the next day, it is very unlikely to be poisoned if it is still alive. Plants, though, retain sprayed insecticides until after a good rain or two. They also rot, die, shed leaves and do other unreasonable things in your nice enclosure. Plastic plants stay healthy much longer, at least in my experience. :D [/QUOTE]
