It was barely as big as a dragonfly. I was afraid of hurting it, but I had to get it off the car!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-62263034078768451612011-07-09T06:31:20.409-05:002011-07-09T06:31:20.409-05:00@Ragtag - nightmare scenario that, swallowing a bu...@Ragtag - nightmare scenario that, swallowing a bug. (do we want our protein that way? giggle).<br />When we lived in Jakarta for a couple of years, it was the ubiquitous 3-inch cockroaches in the house. One went up my pants leg. No more need be said. Except, glad I was wearing pants, rather than a skirt at the time...<br /><br />The dragonfly experience was so lovely, Phylly. Always we look for that balance in nature. The cockroaches were balanced by the pretty little lizards who roosted on the walls of the bungalow, and caught flies. :D<br /><br />fitzgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-53350835213680154112011-07-08T19:24:35.161-05:002011-07-08T19:24:35.161-05:00@JaneGS-- Thank you so much for the compliments! :...@JaneGS-- Thank you so much for the compliments! :) I sing that Black Fly song quite regularly in the summer!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-14952874082903168152011-07-08T18:15:23.859-05:002011-07-08T18:15:23.859-05:00What a great summer post--I especially liked you d...What a great summer post--I especially liked you dragonfly stories and The Cars song :)<br /><br />Never saw The Fly--didn't want to traumatize myself to that degree!<br /><br />Enjoyed the Black Fly song, and the animation was great.<br /><br />Thanks for making me smile!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-55948324145542888732011-07-08T17:36:37.448-05:002011-07-08T17:36:37.448-05:00Oh yeah!

Wide smiles are dangerous if you are moving too fast with no windscreen or caught in a bug infested area. That Blackfly video is only slightly exaggerated, but it is certainly how we all feel!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-35830615107703295882011-07-08T17:17:15.162-05:002011-07-08T17:17:15.162-05:00Hi Phylly, have you ever swallowed one?

We are getting our cottage rebuilt (it was falling apart - a health hazard apparently) and we are getting balconies off the two main bedrooms with screens (that we can keep on or take off). Finally, a way to be out at dusk without being eaten alive.... :D Bliss!<br />And nice tie-in with Richard...I sure hope we don't bug him too. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-66631684957705898092011-07-07T02:33:07.956-05:002011-07-07T02:33:07.956-05:00Mosquitoes in NYC?

Northern mosquitoes are much more vicious I assure you!<br />Yep.

Sometimes I wake up with mosquito bites, possibly because I live across the street from a park. <br /><br />As for fans of a certain actor, I like to think most of us are fairly well-behaved!bccmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549577176138160033noreply@blogger.com
