Long time no see! I also battled leaf-footed bugs this summer and noticed that they don’t seem to be able to fly upward from a resting position, but rather must drop to catch the air, like a bat does. This made it *fairly* easy to put a dish of soapy water under them and bop them in. Sometimes they even flew right into the suds in their clamor to escape my hand. This worked well for me because it was so hot this summer that I couldn’t bear to wear garden gloves most days and don’t like the “squishing” very much.

I think what you’re doing is great!!! Best of luck to you!
