Thanks for the info, Cindy. I wonder what the lifestyle of the larvae is. One source said they are predators on small insects as are the adults.vanessa carduihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276966298881636176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033780.post-1129632659372750212005-10-18T03:50:00.000-07:002005-10-18T03:50:00.000-07:00I've sometimes seen strange insects that will neve...I've sometimes seen strange insects that will never turn up again. Particularly spiders. Or there will be a little population increase in a kind of insect one year and they'll be gone the next.<BR/>There is a big striped spider with lumpy projections on its back that has made its home on the underside of my parents' deck. It would make sense if it was a tiger spider, but I'm not sure.<BR/>Maybe if I'm able to get a decent digital camera I can get pictures of some of the interesting bugs around here and send them to you. Of course now the weather is cold they're all dying off. But we'll see who's back in the spring!<BR/>Peace.Cie Cheesemeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14871507564733240927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12033780.post-1129254832015185202005-10-13T18:53:00.000-07:002005-10-13T18:53:00.000-07:00I've lived in O.C. for 18 years, and I see those g...I've lived in O.C. for 18 years, and I see those guys all the time. Interestingly, I usually see them only on the ivy slope in our back yard. Rarely in the front. So they must be pretty picky about where they like to hang out.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011749964154446809noreply@blogger.com
