This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_SYVnbnmkU/b2FOezBCKbkQ) Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi, all- We had an mystery insect in the house for the last couple of days. It probably came in on firewood. We released it outdoors today and it flew off with great enthusiasm (but it's probably doomed to quick freezing.) I have a feeling that it is one of the true bugs, perhaps an Assassin Bug. The body length was about 1.2cm. It had a sort of thoracic shield, a very small head, and I was able to convince myself that I saw a beak stowed away underneath. Anybody care to comment? There are photos here: http://www.pbase.com/ppayzant/insect Regards Peter Payzant --Boundary_(ID_SYVnbnmkU/b2FOezBCKbkQ) Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hi, all-<br> <br> We had an mystery insect in the house for the last couple of days.
