Subject: RE: BS: New or startling bugs in your area
Donuel, I have endless curiousity about nature, therefore I have tried to identify every plant and critter I see. Fifty and more years of doing so means I have quite a store of facts most people might not have, at least about local flora and fauna.

Insects are often the toughest to find out about. I've been trying for several years to identify a beetle I saw - one of the Flower beetles, for sure, but unusually coloured and marked.

Locally, Dobsonflies are mostly called Fishflies. I've seen them attracted to lights at night, including my cold light.
