No, you are not allowed inside with that bug in your mouth

This is actually a common phrase in our apartment.  Zim is a great hunter.  And I know he wants to share and bring his kill into the cave.  He's so proud of himself and we're proud of him too.  However, these huge june-bugs are quite literally the bane of our existence right now.  I've never seen such a huge influx of them.  And Zim has caught about 10+ just in the last 2 months alone!  He was a bit upset with us on Saturday, as we actually saw him catch it and then were quick enough to close the screens of the balcony so he couldn't come inside with it.  Sigh.  He did get a treat for being such a great hunter.  We want to encourage the bug hunting, just not the 'bringing them in the apartment, only to torture them, and then sometimes let them get away to where eventually the bug just makes itself home in our apartment.'
