So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
we're
trying
to
capture
her
on
the
sticky
tanglefoot
material
because
they
can't
fly
away
from
it.
They'll
just
walk
up
this
band
and
then
she'll
get
stuck
in
this
little
river
of
sticky
material.
What
she
wanted
to
do
was
to
climb
up
the
tree,
go
out
to
the
very
ends
of
the
branches
to
lay
her
eggs.
