Nice Picture
Thanks. This summer I'm doing lots of bug photography and as a result am finding out about many creatures I never knew existed before. Take the Jagged Ambush Bug, for instance. As a child I played day in and day out in fields full of Goldenrod and stripped the stalks to make "swords". Never noticed the zillions of Ambush Bugs that must have been there. At least I'm seeing them now, as are my kids.
