    More often than not, the only sign you'll ever come across that they're there, besides their sound, is the little husks they leave behind.

It was really neat to watch it emerging from the husk.

The dog, though, has gotten quite good at spotting the little guys. Apparently they are delicious.

Did he win the bet?

Yeah. Kinda. There wasn't a formal bet. He just heard that they tasted Ok.
