I happen to like flies too, and have done a small project on the local
horse and deer flies. However, I'm enjoying beetles now. I took a picture
of these beetles (http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/personel/rosebeetles.jpg) on
one of my roses; I didn't collect any to key out (I don't know what came
over me...)...anyone know off-hand what they are?
