Hi grlambert, thank you for your suggestion about the mission "Parental Care in Insects and other Invertebrates". I will certainly do that. Your dog Graham looks happy and well cared for. It was so nice to see him. On another matter, I was looking at your spotting of an insect on some kind of pipe or tube. I am not certain, but it looks like a Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis). Maybe you can have a look at https://www.wildutah.us/html/insects_oth... There are some pictures there which might help you. If it is not exactly correct, it might at least be a starting point for you to search through other similar bugs. John B.
