I watched a show on em just a week ago. Apparantly they crawl out, mate,and then get eaten. It seems they are doomed to be food for every carnivore in the forest and the ones that escape being eaten die and are fertilizer for the trees. Nature has some interesting plans <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Here in Oregon Nature has provided a way to thin the forest by creating Scrap Yard knives which are then used by cut happy folks like myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
