John and Jane, thanks for identifying the snipe fly! I have an Audubon Society Insect guide, it wasn't in there. This will help me a lot at science camp next week. The BugGuide website is great, I'll use it a lot! I have several pictures of other insects on my website: easttennesseewildflowers.com under the Critters, Butterflies, and Spiders galleries.
