I Heard a Rumour


My  6 year old grandson wanted to know what the flies were in this small container. I told him water boatmen. He went and found his bug book and found the page. It was a very cool moment!

I have heard from two reliable sources that the beginnings of boatmen and backswimmers has started. I even saw a throat sample (thanks Adam).  With the exceptionally warm weather as of late, I wonder how this will go but as the water cools, this activity is always one of my favourite.



The throat sample above was a few short days ago! (Thanks Adam)

The samples below of both boatmen and backswimmers is to help you tie your imposters!
