I presume it went for a swim in the soapy water jar moments thereafter?
I usually put them out on my driveway and it doesn't take long before a bird spots my tasty snack offering. Someday I'd love to have chickens to give them to instead.
Great idea. I've got a family of crows on the property that appreciate big bug snacks.
We feed them to our chickens 😝🐔
