I gave it another try and had my best bug day ever. I got seven "Big Bugs". Make sure you give the push rod a tug after you get them. Turn the snare with the bug upside down to calm him. Then get the bug out of the loop. Still only one problem and that is the release button--It's hard to do with only one hand. Your other hand is being used to grab and hold on to the Bug. I got them in every position, no tail escaped or slipped out!!!!!

First time I tried it I had the first problem. I live in St. Thomas and we get really big bugs. The snare wouldn't fit over the tale. The snare opening is too small. Next time I used it I lost two bugs, they sliped out of the snare. I think what I did wrong was leaving my hand on the trigger. I am going to give it one more try. If it fails again, I am going back to my old "Greeny".
