SalarMan 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2021 I've attached a photo of an insect we've seen on our deck several times. It is actually 2 of the buggers caught in "the act". Anyone know what they are? I tried some internet research, but couldn't find anything that satisfied my curiosity. Thanks in advance for any insight. Cheers George Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
