Guest Report post Posted June 12, 2005 I turned it upside down to get a shot of it and it flew away. So the whole top shell of it is wings.That's a cool bug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 13, 2005 Taxton, you are the bug man for knowing that one! I've never seen one before today and only because it was on my tying desk. Thanks for the input Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutnut 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 Nice one Taxon! Even I was completely clueless on that one. Is it aquatic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coming from you, that's a high compliment. No, not aquatic. They feed on plants in the morning glory family. My guess is that wickedcarpenter was probably out working in the yard before visiting his tying desk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
