From the same bloke as yesterday, whom it turns out lives in southern mid-Michigan.This insect was 'found in 2006, dead, in my pool. I fished it out and took some pictures of it. It's about an inch long, with no wings (though it looks like it might have had them at some point). Because of the missing anatomy it probably won't be very easy to identify. The closest I've seen to this is a big black wingless wasp / ant thing that I found years before.'
This blasted recession is really beginning to hit. Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
