Thanks to everyone for your help. :)

NOW! you give us a reasonable description! Straight away I can tell you what

they are, they are HONEYMOONERS! It is a breed of creature that because they

hardly ever see the light of day after a short week-end with friends and

relatives with what is known as a WEDDING and RECEPTION often, (but not

always) fly to foreign shores to consumate their new found relationship.

Both the male and female learn within a short period of time to breathe through

their bums because their mouth parts are occupied in getting used to the

sexual orientation of their new found partner!

How interesting all i got is those tiny red mites that stain everything if you squish them. How do you get rid of these little blighters

You threaten them with what is called the BESTMAN and his friend making their way into the Honeymoon suite and unfastenening the bed with a spanner!

Sorry, Less, I should have known. I hope this doesn't mean there will be a few hundred of them tomorrow. ;)

Fireman, get a spray from the garden centre. The little sods breed like - er - flies.

I've left the bucket alone, to see what develops, and I'm afraid most of them seem to be - deceased. There are still a few tails sticking up from the sludge in the bottom but the wriggly ones near the surface aren't wriggling. :(

Had the barbie out this afternoon but the bl***y things are too small to fit on the grid. :( Son-in-law fascinated by the little buggers, eldest daughter had to be revived by fanning with a marinated sausage and plying with copious amounts of wine. I don't know, the young people of today..............:rolleyes:

I am a murderer!

I had to clean out the gutter round the kitchen roof (it was becoming a candidate for Southport Flower Show) and I needed the bucket. As most of them looked dead anyway, I tipped them down the drain. I argued with myself for an hour before I did the dirty deed but, sadly, my rat-tailed maggots are now defunct - unless they surface in the river Mersey, or somewhere.

Shame on you after all this time and expectation ,you throw life down the drain. A true Accy webber would have bought a new bucket.

you could have waited a while then left them on a dug up broadway. the slimey little gets would be next door to their relatives then.

Well at least you're unlikely to get malaria from them. I don't want any, though. (Not even chocolate-coated - don't knock it, the Chinese probably eat them that way ..... David once tried sugar-coated tadpoles, although to be fair he didn't know what they were when they were offered to him).
