A Quiet Sunday
Re: A Quiet Sunday
Thanks Phillip, was probably more a test of the operator!
At least I don't have to keep logging in now I'm not using a borrowed computer.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
A really wonderfully posed picture in lovely muted tones. I trust all of the storm damage is now cleared and more constructive work will be available soon. Your line is truly inspirational.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Re: A Quiet Sunday
Doing a bit of pruning down on the sawmill spur and noticed this little fella. He got a bit agitated after a while and opened
his bright violet coloured wings. Grant.

I know it's harmless, but Ugh I think the worst insect we have to suffer in the UK (apart from Midges) are Cockchafers (aka May Bug or Doodlebug).

Re: A Quiet Sunday
Some years ago we had some guests from Mexico staying with us one September.They were terrified when they saw some DaddyLonglegs...thought they were giant Mossies!

Re: A Quiet Sunday
To be fair I thought the same thing the first time I saw a cranefly. Same with a cicada, I thought I'd seen a giant deer fly (and the regular sized ones already bite hard enough!)
Re: A Quiet Sunday
If I came across one of those I'm not sure I'd recognise that it was an insect?! I reckon I'd prefer not to know, actually - it's HUGE!
Re: A Quiet Sunday
That is quite amusing.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
I think Cranefly is the proper name for our 'daddy longlegs'. Apologies if you knew that already.drewzero1 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 9:35 pmTo be fair I thought the same thing the first time I saw a cranefly.

Re: A Quiet Sunday
I had suspected, but had to look it up to be sure. Some people here also call it that, but we also have two very different spiders that go by that nickname-- the harvestman, and the cellar spider.
The one that confused me was maybugs which we call junebugs. They're just starting to come out here so I suppose either name makes sense! But we also have mayflies (or lake flies) which look just like mosquitoes without the bite. They hatch out of the lake in great swarms for a week or so twice a year, forming an audible cloud above the city streets and posing an inhalation risk to joggers. (So much for a quiet Sunday!)
Re: A Quiet Sunday
Don't like insects of any kind, especially SPIDERS....uggg... please...
