Yes...make sure they aren't in an area where they could have come in contact with pesticides tho.

I have a related question, Where I live in MD we had a TON of stink bugs last year. What would happen if a glider were to eat one? (other than a bad smell) Are they toxic or harmful?

Honestly not sure but I personally won't give any insects that have a defense mechanism such as smell or nasty taste when bitten. I know they eat spiders in the wild but I won't feed them...I'm afraid the toxins on the spider venom could cause damage since I have no clue which spiders have a mild venom & ones that have the really bad stuff.

Mine absolutely love junebugs. If you don't want them flying off in the cage so fast, you can put them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for about half an hour first.

We always get then bad and my mom usually sprays the yard to take care of them. But now we have chickens and we can't use pesticides. The chickens take care of the beetles too. I wonder if they can have Japanese beetles?
