Looking At Insects. #14 Bee Fly
Hi again everyone! Here we are with another insect, this time a real odd type, looks more like an alien insect really! This is the first one I have seen and so happy I got its photo. This is the “Hunchback Fly”, a member of the Bee Fly family. It is a greenish color with those 3 black stripes, plus black, white and furry on the back end.
That long thing in front is its antennae. It is about 5/8 of an inch (15mm) long. I needed two pictures to really show the beauty, and oddity of this little critter. It does not sting or bite which is nice. That hunchback look is the way it stays all the time. It also has very long legs. It is around, in our area, during July and August. Thanks for taking a look, have a great day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Fun With Grover. #12
Good morning everyone! Grover is back with more fun and, well, fun! Let us see what he has for today…
===========
A teenage girl had been talking on her phone for about half an hour, and then she hung up.
“Wow!” said her father, “That was short. You usually talk for two hours or more. What happened?”
“Wrong number…” replied the girl.
===========
The more you weigh the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe. Eat cake.
===========
Little boy 1: “So your family got a new house! How do you like it?”
Little boy 2: “It’s terrific! I have my own room, John has his own room, and Rachel has her own room. But poor Mom is still in with Dad.”
===========
What is it called when you teach people the benefits of eating dried grapes? Raisin awareness.
===========
I got a big envelope in the mail that had written on the front,
“Photographs: Do Not Bend.” Underneath the mailman wrote, “Oh, yes they do.”
===========
I accidentally sat on my phone and Siri suggested several local gyms.
===========
Each day I try to enjoy something from each of the four food groups: the
bonbon group, the salty-snack group, the caffeine group, and the
“whatever-the-thing-in-the-tinfoil-in-the-back-of-the-fridge-is” group.
===========
Well, there we have it for today. Grover thanks you for reading. Have a great day and God bless!
Steve, Muffin and Grover.
