Daves definitely looks different, or else it is a very deformed katydid,,,maybe it got into some glyphospate flying around the corn fields. Linda Mandala | -----------------Re: Croc Fly

Thanks for the 'bug' ID, Anne T. I looked around for a couple hrs. and couldn't anything resembling it. Thanks Daniel for trying to find out what it is, and Pablo for verifying as always. | -----------------
