removing Locust corpses?

[SunGoat]

I've looked everywhere and maybe I'm just missing something... but how do you get rid of locusts after you kill them?

I've never been able to (though I havent tried since the last major update, so maybe the tweaks added it ? But I doubt it). As far as I know, you can't. Besides maybe going into creative mode and either placing a block on top of them and removing it, or else digging out the blocks below so its body drops and then covering it again. I don't know if either of those would work either though, as I haven't tried them and they're just best guesses.

Ah... that's a shame.  Though it seems they disappear on their own after a couple days, so that's not so bad.

Would be nice if we could harvest something from them.

They drop various metal items on death. The corpse itself just lingers for a while and you don't have to harvest the corpse to get the items.

Thanks.  I haven't encountered my first locusts yet, let alone engage them in battle.  Seems like the items should be harvest from their bodies rather than drop upon their violent disassembly (aka death).
