Perhaps you know how it is... I never get happy with the photos, but that is what makes me try harder and learn more too... And there are a lot of very talented photographer here in Noah, and that is the best source of inspiration!

Nice bug Tina! I think it might be a Water Measurer (Hydrometridae). Here's one I got here in Massachusetts for comparison. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/594...
