Do they have to be alive? If you want some dead ones look under a light fixture.. you’ll definitly find some dead flies and probably a moth.. and maybe some others.

Not sure as to were you live but our kids when they were younger that was the thing in grade school. We all helped in collecting them in our yard, our home is next to some timber and there was some in it. We also went to the park a few times. They also had a class on plants, both times I went and took paper sacks and placed the insects or a leaf on the sack, it was a recycle thing and the teachers loved it. But I had the kids write in there hand what each was. One has to be careful because many of the insects as with plants can be very poisons. So pick them with great care or have good protection such as gloves. One on the paper the bugs would not be bad but any plants such Ivy and Oak or shoe mack could give someone a very bad rash. good luck.

Turn on a porch light on at night. The light distracts insects which are (theoretically) navigationally geared to the light of the moon.

Ugh. undesirable thoughts. back interior the day, we lived in a sh!t hollow condominium. Me, my husband, and our daughter (she replaced into 3 on the time). properly, seems the development replaced into so badly infested ants. We could not shop ANY meals interior the cabinet. not something. It have been given so undesirable that we’d all awaken coated in ants, crawling out and in of each and every establishing. I nevertheless have nightmares approximately them in my mouth. We sued the owner and gained some hundred dollars. Whoopy do. yet whilst he surpassed me the verify, he spit in my face. That replaced into each and every of the excuse i mandatory to seize my bat and prepare him some manners. some years later, we’d offered a house interior the rustic. I awakened and located the main important freaking spider I surely have EVER seen (north of the 40 ninth parallel) in my existence. I went to comb it off, and it bit me. i finished up interior the ER 2 days later it have been given so badly necrotic. a pair years after that, we offered a sparkling dwelling house interior the city. At nighttime, we saved listening to a humming noise interior the mattress room. It rattling close to drove us insane! We,d purely be falling asleep and BZZZ! BZZZ! So one nighttime we could not stand it anymore. We stood interior the lifeless of nighttime and honed in on the sound, which replaced into coming from the window. We listened intently, and would desire to hearken to humming interior the physique of the window. My husband yanked off the plastic strip interior the centre and 1000’s of cluster flies got here spilling out. They began flying around and crawling throughout us, we’ve been swatting them interior the lifeless of nighttime. OMG it replaced into worse than a horror action picture. We bought that stupid dwelling house interior a 365 days there have been this way of super form of problems with it.

If you have stepping stones in your yard you may find creepy crawly bugs under them.

Another place to check is leave piles or any place in the yard where critters can hide and be cozy.

I hope this helps. Good Luck

I went to the Sonic Drive In and collected night bugs from around the lights. That was several years ago.

Lift up a rock go to the river look in a tree look on your house they are all over the place man!

Under moist places such as rocks and leveas….insects have to try and save moisture as they can thier body can only handle a small intake of water each day…they try and save moisture by staying in cool damp places…

Turn the back porch light on. Wait untill it’s good and dark. Then make a net (coathanger wire and pantyhose) and catch them!

Lift some lose paving stones where you might find some worms or centipedes hiding underneath.
