My bugs that are nameless are usually because I cannot find them in my book!! I like Gaelyn's name for it though :-) Diane

SO many things have not been named here Diane. This one is so distinctive one would think it received some attention.

Perhaps if thy don't have a name you should be naming them and register the name
