Yes! That's it. Thanks Ken!
Yes! That's it. Thanks Ken!
Interesting in the notes it says it comes from cow manure. This spring, I applied manure to my garden from a different source than usual. I don't think it was fully composted and I've had a whole host of new weeds. I've never seen this fly before; maybe it came from the manure. ???
And thanks for the welcome. I've actually browsed the site for years. It's full of interesting things!
