No problem! ID's are almost as fun as taking the pictures. I've sent some suggestions your way. Let me know what you think.
I think you're right. I was looking at spittlebugs, the other night and then got sidetracked. I appreciate your ID's on my other spottings. Did you recognize this one? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7147679 or this one? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7124462
