Thank you Harsi for your great comment about faith and patience . Bugguide is a great endeavor for the classification of the bug world . I have great faith in their scientific and professional approach in documenting so many of nature's little wonders . I must say , I felt guilty for re-posting , but I was not certain that I added that photo the first time . Hiking has always been one of my great passions in life to see and be a part of nature and now with my digital camera , I can capture beauty to share . I respect the insect life and find it fascinating as it is connected to the beautiful plant-life and animal life and to our selves as humans . There is much to learn , thankfully there is a great resource such as Bugguide to help us learn faster . Thanks again ... you are right .... I have much faith in the experts and should just sit tight . Happy hunting , sincerely Beth

Sometimes when I'm waiting for an ID, I feel a bit like a kid being told they have to wait to open their present. (*smile*) I'm glad that you get so much enjoyment from nature, and you have certainly posted some very interesting insects to BugGuide thus far. I feel much the same as you do about my connection to the plant/animal world and also about what a wonderful resource and community BugGuide provides.

(Aargh! Don't you hate it when you notice that you made a typo? I meant to type "your" instead of "you'll" in the last sentence of my previous comment...)
