    That would have been more effective if the picture was straight

    Nice view though. Have you noticed how many lightning bugs there are this year?

    That’s a poser.

    Hopefully, your first sentence will someday read: "I thinking I’m finally getting the hang of this picture posting thing."

    Some nights you'll see lightening bugs everywhere then may go a month without seeing another then they'll be back. I wonder if they're like mayflies or lovebugs and have staged hatches. Right now we're in the midst of a major cicada hatch


    Jim that's highly unlikely

    We had the Brood X hatch about a month ago. They were so loud you could hear them singing inside your car with the windows closed as you drove past a woods full of them.

    Birddog andi were fishing yesterday and he got accidently collided in the face with a cicada killer. He may have peed a little bit. Didn’t get stung though. In fact we werejust saying neither of us knew anyone stung by one. It looks like it’d put a hurt on you.

    I found this on Wikipedia



    “Although cicada killers are large, female cicada-killer wasps are not aggressive and rarely sting unless they are grasped roughly, stepped upon with bare feet, or caught in clothing. One author who has been stung indicates that for him, the stings are not much more than a "pinprick".[6] Males aggressively defend their perching areas on nesting sites against rival males, but they have no stinger.”

    Yeah, same with me ... but mine's even lower ... just BELOW the waist! (and before you smart-asses chime in, I do NOT mean "Dunlop's Disease")
