Dear All, Nov 21, 2013
At about 1:00 pm in North Alton woods I saw a small insect (wingspan
about 1cm) flying slowly and barely keeping aloft; wings a gray blur and
body inconspicuous (~3oC I expect). I could likely have caught it in one
hand had I not been wearing leather 3-finger mitts and carrying a saw and
saw kit.
It did not resemble a Winter Cranefly, a beetle or a Lep. I suspect a
Stonefly. There is no running water nearby but 100 paces or so away there is
a swamp that has standing water 8 months and likely year round if you count
chinks between rocks.
The Squirrels are making a comeback after a lean 12/13 winter; lots of
fresh cone scales and I have seen several recently.
