I'm sorry I never got back here. I couldn't remember where I posted. And I checked in quickly today (since was raining) and ATP was doing a wierd thing where the left side bar was gone. Somehow I clicked on something and it came up with a new post to one of my watcher threads.

Anyway, I got so darn busy, and had those things (actually 3 leaf fans) laying on my stove (gas range) since everything else was so crowded. They started hatching out right before I was ready to go to the farmer's market. Tiny tiny little black insects, all over. I just began squishing them with no time to take a photo because of more pressing matters. I threw the remains outside since I didn't care to have any more of those little things crawling around since I was going to be gone all day. Silly me, I should have had a jar with breath holes, but I didn't have one available, and as small as they were they could probably have crawled out of any nail holes I might have made.

Yes, this was a newer leaf or fan blade to tall bearded Iris (before I brought it in the house and it started decaying). So much time has passed now, I don't remember really well, but my Iris bloom time was late this year. Maybe I'll try to look up that Bud Fly ... perhaps that's what it was. You have any photos of it's eggs?

Thanks for posting.
