I try to do as much as I can :-P
I am super super busy. Had a little free time to check bugguide while my student hourly rolls some potato leaves so we can test them for PVY. Looks like its going to be a low aphid year againa though, I'm a little dissapointed :( Finally getting the hang of IDing the aphids to species though. They're so difficult, I love the challenge!

"Schlage die Trommel und fürchte dich nicht"
do your thing and never mind my whining. maybe one day you'll be figuring out all the BG aphids, just like that...
