It is interesting to learn that some areas don't have these bugs. I guess I just take it for granted that everyone has come across them.<BR/><BR/>Chigiy,<BR/><BR/>I don't know why but your name in the comments isn't an active link when you post. I think the same thing is true for Sarah (from farmingfriends) see if this works:<BR/><BR/>When you're commenting on blogger chose the "other" option and in the firs field put your name and in the field where it says "Your Web Page" type in the url to your blog like so "http://yoururl.com" without the "" and see if that works.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-20148887831509216392007-06-18T10:36:00.000-05:002007-06-18T10:36:00.000-05:00Hi Mr Brown thumb,Great picture, sounds like one o...Hi Mr Brown thumb,<BR/>Great picture, sounds like one of the kids i used to know who would pull the legs off daddy long legs (crane flies).

Now we live smack dab in the middle of suburbia where insecticides flow in abundance and don't see as many. I had a lone one in my yard last night and I think I watched him for 30 minutes! Hope you had a great GTS and even better Father's Day!Gardenmomma Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829147691071888606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-56587836355276396902007-06-17T22:51:00.000-05:002007-06-17T22:51:00.000-05:00That is a cool picture, MrBrownThumb.
