Thanks Bob!
And if you could pop on by my website, I overhauled my macros and put a special insect folder there that has things listed, and not everything is ID'ed yet.. so if you want to take a stab at some feel free and leave some comments!

Thanks,
Charles

P.S. and by the way.. what is the number stand for that you always put in front of the ID???

8743 is the Hodges Checklist Number...
... another way to search (here or at MPG if you know the number). Type it in the search window at the top of this page and see what you get.

Great!!
That makes a lot of sense, I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure.
