It just seemed like they were EVERYWHERE you stepped, and you had to wave your hands around like a raving lunatic just so you wouldn't get covered in them!! What I forgot (possibly on purpose?!?!) was the high pitch, constant, LOUD buzzing they made!!!!! My boys are in BUG HEAVEN right now - THEY LOVE'EM!!!! It's a very exciting thing for them!!
