Hi Donna & All,
    This is far from an ID but larvae of some craneflies are remarkably =
cold hardy. The following is cut from an Insect file-- Quattro-Pro and =
Outlook Express don't get along well apparently.

      Collected in North Alton, Dec 2001 from debris on polyethylene;

       kept outdoors; emerged after June 5, 2002; pupal cases in vial;

       also leg in envelope; distal veins have a few microtrichia.
    =20


They turned out to be Craneflies; Tipula ? sp. They were in =
snow/ice/cold air all winter.
Yt, DW

  I need the help of those naturalists who revel in the entomological =
world:

  =20

  I received a photo from my sister (link below)  wanting to know the =
name of this large =E2=80=98grub=E2=80=99 found near the Bridgewater =
area on Jan 13th.  There were two of them crawling on top of the fresh =
snow.  They were almost the size a =E2=80=9Ca little finger=E2=80=9D, =
referring to both length and diameter of a small finger.  (A good snack =
for a bird, except they are now apparently in a jar.)

  =20

  My sister has a sense of humor, stating:=20

  =20

  =E2=80=9C... Unless you live up north, in the Arctic, where that =
"husky dusky maiden lived, and where the ice worms nest ...??"   Do you =
suppose this is an ice worm?  Lol.   They were almost the size of her =
little finger.   Let me know if you can identify them.  She rescued them =
and put them in a jar.=E2=80=9D

  =20

  Thanks for the help.  (This is my first attempt at Flickr.  Hope it =
works!)
