Not a raccoon moth, but a big one, with wing eyes to see-it-through-the-week



It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Yeah I think they existed, back in the Carboniferous era there were dragonflies that make todays bugs look puny, they had 65 cm (25.6 in) wingspans...

For the really scary bugs you have to go to North Ontario. That is where you will find the black fly, the little black fly...

So far so good, as long as I don't push My knee too much, it only itches from time to time, I'm waiting for the Doctors office to get the 3 x-rays of My knee back from Main Street imaging.

Thankfully down here in the desert they don't exist, I don't think they exist here at least, We just have ordinary type of flies here.

It's a shame that only one
of the McGarrigle sisters is still alive;
also Wade Hemsworth has gone as well.
Thanks for putting that in, LSM
and I were bouncing around here
like kids for a few moments.
