  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?
