Whoa, it must have been a slow week on Camel!
Seriously, this is way cool and such a honor that I've never expected. It's totally is like serendipity all over again.

Bob, Kat, Douglas, Fran, Sis, Tina, Ron, TJ and Alison - Thank you so much. I'd also like to thank the Academy, Mom and Dad, and my wife and...

Douglas - I do try to work hard for the money. Thanks for noticing. My wife always complains that my hands are like sandpapers. lol

ROFL about the Academy award.

I noticed it too but I just figured it was garden dirt. My fingers look like that too, half the time.

Thank you, Waleed. This is a hoverfly - one of the good guys in the fly world, unlike those common house flies. This species is indeed on the thin side.

I think they do start out with the atkins protein diet, sucking up the juice from plant pests such as aphids.
