But from the look of her clawed feet and mandibles, I'd bet she could hang on pretty fiercely if she wanted to!<br />mkircus--yes, keep your eyes peeled--they're a delight to look at!<br />Heather--I didn't think you'd mind the reference to Indiana Jones. I remember your saying something about it at Cranberry Bog last spring! Bullwhips might come in handy, though. You never know what we might encounter out there!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-67060903105062731612011-09-04T11:20:13.634-04:002011-09-04T11:20:13.634-04:00You better watch it Nina, next thing you know I...You better watch it Nina, next thing you know I'll start carrying a bullwhip and my walk will turn into a swagger... ;) It truly was a great expedition, and you know I'll look for any excuse to get out and about doing stuff like this. I like your presentation here, by the way - very crafty and creative.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-43648297574120287462011-09-04T11:20:06.607-04:002011-09-04T11:20:06.607-04:00Thanks for a great post.

We have Amorpha fruictocas and fields of goldenrod. Because of the drught, our goldenrod hasn't bloomed but may bloom shortly due to the half inch of rain we got yesterday. I'll be looking for the Amorpha borer here.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-49704558029244067672011-09-03T23:29:03.844-04:002011-09-03T23:29:03.844-04:00Hi Nina

I have had a soft spot for long horned beetles ever since one gnawed me some years ago.
