--001a11c3826eee864f04dfbb9fac Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 The following insects were making their presence obvious during the past week for the first time this year at L Torment, E Dalhousie, Kings Co. Corrections and more accurate ID are appreciated: Several of these big (40mm hd to wingtip) Stoneflies (Pteronarcys spp) gathered each night at both outside lights. I am not used to seeing large Stonefly adults until late August. http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9105112417/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9105128911/ Lots and lots of fireflies (Photinus spp) 13mm long were on the windows, deck and woodpile: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92981528@N08/9105160771/ Click Beetles (Elateridae) were everywhere, coming in to the open truck windows and shed. Brown, <10mm, ovate, spp unkown. They are fun to watch folding themselves lengthwise and flinging off erratically with an audible "click". Too jumpy for a good photo. Some who fell into the grate on the dash are still clicking away today. Gardeners will be unhappy to know click beetle larvae are Wireworms (Audubon Insect Guide).
