Was there much wriggling?

I hesitated posting it, because it's so gross. That stuff that looks like hair is the antennae stuck to the glue pad.

Yes, a couple of them were still alive and would wiggle a little bit if you blew on them. Almost feel sorry for them.

One thing that's kinda neat is you can see how some of them got trapped. At the far end of the pad, there are a bunch lined up at the edge. Those guys just walked onto the pad and got stuck at the edge. They were all in contorted positions, because they tried to get free and got more stuck. Then there are others stuck in the middle. They were just hopping randomly around, and got stuck when they landed on the pad. They are stuck in a more natural position, because they plopped down and landed squarely on all feet at once.

Am I sick for analyzing this so much? I'm really pleased with the number I've caught. It's a drag to climb into the shower in the morning and have to kill one that's sitting in there. Especially if I don't have my contacts in yet. They hop fast.
