But common names are so poor for identification since they vary by different areas (even different families). I'll be looking for these. What's great is that you get things coming alive before me so I can try to find them here after looking at your posts.Andreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159511912645034019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-76865775978670591962008-04-20T01:06:00.000-05:002008-04-20T01:06:00.000-05:00The picture of the nymphs is amazing!

The only thing more intimidating is trying to key out an insect. There's just too much terminology I don't know.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-28513151928495573052008-04-18T15:29:00.000-05:002008-04-18T15:29:00.000-05:00Hi Marvin -- thought you might be interested to kn...Hi Marvin -- thought you might be interested to know that the order Hemiptera now also includes insects formerly placed in the order Homoptera (aphids, scales, hoppers, and cicadas). These insects were distinguished from Hemiptera based on their wholly membraneous wings held roof-like over the body. However, recent studies have made it clear that hoppers/cicadas are more closely related to true bugs than they are to aphids/scales, thus the necessary change in classification. Piercing/sucking mouthparts is a common feature uniting all these insects into a single order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-5566590518581513002008-04-18T10:49:00.000-05:002008-04-18T10:49:00.000-05:00Wouldn't ya know it: Someone schedules an earthqu...Wouldn't ya know it: Someone schedules an earthquake and I sleep through it. According to the news reports that I looked at, we should have been right on the edge of feeling the quake, but it occurred around 4:30 AM and I'd gone to bed a little after four o'clock.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-5293990043403688832008-04-18T10:14:00.000-05:002008-04-18T10:14:00.000-05:00It's funny how sometimes we think of things at the...It's funny how sometimes we think of things at the same time.

There are always stinkbugs on Raspberries and when I was a kid picking berries and we would find a stinkbug what fun would be had by chasing everyone. Of course the row bosses frowned at this behavior but it always got a laugh.
