When dh suggested (jokingly) that we could pad the college fund with a pornographic webcam, I don't think he was thinking of wheel bugs. These two provided a science lesson today as they climbed the tree while procreating. Thank goodness humans don't have to do that. Climb trees, that is.
This particular tree is right outside our front door, and unfortunately, seems to be dying. An ash tree, the bark is split in places and sap is running. As a result, lots of insects come to the tree to get a sip in this drought, providing a study for us.
Notes:
At a visit to a college, Anna and I sat having lunch outside. A glance at a nearby table, and I was convinced that the girl sitting there was someone I knew or had met. It drove me crazy trying to think of her name. I tried not to stare, but I did indeed know her. From where? Finally, it hit me. She was the spitting image of "Daisy", a character on the TV show "Bones", and not at all a real person I knew. I need to get out more.

Oh good heavens! You just shipped one off to college, is it seriously time for another chick to fly the coup???
Do you ever wonder if insects or other animals (besides humans) ever think to themselves, "not tonight dear, I have a headache"?
