Mystery - Snow Caterpillars - This morning there are many dozens
of caterpillars crawling around on the snow of my lawn - very slowly I
might add. I have never seen this before and would like to know what they
are. They are about 2 inches long. Can anyone identify them? Does anyone
else have them? |
|
|
|
Update 8:45 AM - They are dying - no surprise there. I think because
it has been warm they accidentally hatched and got the worst of it. Bad
timing. |

Friday the thirteenth got the reputation of being unlucky when the
Knights Templar were rounded up and executed by a church inquisition in
the middle ages on a Friday the thirteenth. It was indeed unlucky for them.
To those of you who still think it is unlucky - get over it. |

I have introduced an even further subdivided version
of the PICO search engine below. If you do not take the time to
press the drop down list, you will not have a clue how this works. Here
is the gift. It is up to you to use it. Don't assume this is just the same
old PICO we have had for several years as many have told me they have assumed.
Trust me, I would not disrespectfully waste your time asking you to look
at something that is useless or not a major improvement. The number of
Thank you notes I have received indicates that fewer than 1% of my guests
have even looked at this or recognized its value. Don't make my time a
waste by not looking at this useful new tool for the regular What's New
users.

Post 048 Biographies (Still In process, but take a preview of
this major first time ever publication) |
|
This is presented in unfinished preview mode. I am pleased at your
eagerness, but Please respect our time and generosity by not asking for
more before it is complete. If I get too much mail, other than thank yous,
on a preview item, I will hesitate to do it again and everyone will
have to wait longer. The book WILL BE presented in its entirety. Please
be patient and not impose pressure on us .We will not remove a single word
of its content from our completed presentation. Don't make me regret showing
this to you on a preview basis. If you want to say thanks, that is great,
but please do not ask for more before it is even complete. Doing so only
takes time my away from finishing the presentation. |

Joyce's monster Podocarpus announces Spring !!!
One of the first signs of spring every year is the emergence of new
growth on this enormous ceiling height houseplant of mine. Other people
have their groundhog day, but I celebrate Podocarpus growth day. Cut is
from the major surgery I performed last fall so I could move in the room
where it resides. |

Twigg will be presenting her "Spanish Hill Story" for the Ashland Historical
Society on February 11, 2:00 pm Ashland Town Hall. This presentation is

Update on the Caterpillars - see 03 JAN item above on this page
- Elmira Star Gazette 12 Feb issue identifies them as Large Yellow Underwing
Cutworm (Noctua pronuba) , confirmed by Cornell entomologist Carolyn Klass.
They were seen in this area in December and January. It eats roots, stems
and leaves of grass. Judging by the grass damage in my lawn the last couple
of years, it has been here a while. Then the skunks dig up the lawn looking
for them. |
