Yup. They climb most anything. Oddly, I found something they don't climb. I started using the plastic buckets that Walmart sells Cotton Candy in as a bug carrier when I feed. No one climbs the walls of them! They are too small to be handy for a lot but it is nice for that use.

Haven't we warned you about tampering with the structure of a chaotic system?

Imagine having little sticky suction cups on your feet. The only things that can stop the climbers are vaseline, bug stop, or a food grade grease. All work, but each has it good and bads.
