Up maybe a few inches and sideways maybe 6"? They can make the frass land
on something at least a few inches above them (that's how I noticed it in
the first place - couldn't figure out how that frass got there!!). The
sideways distance depends on how far below them it lands. They shoot it
out upwards at an angle (at least sometimes).
