Hair-do bug


We've had a lot of these lately; kind of like mosquitos but they have these fuzzy antennae so we're calling them 'hair-do bugs'.

sit spot notes -- Tues Apr 21, 7:30 PM. Rain, 50s, light wind. Cloudy. The pond an intense black, the glories violet petals glow, the woods across the pond a melting of black, red, shades of grey and green, the daffies a smear of yellow white. Two geese land, crying, splashing on the water. Peepers loud, one other sound, the steady cheep every second or so. Water falling over dam. Hands cupped behind ears, mouth open: new sound. Water? Static? It goes away when I put my hands down. Seems to come from the south: probably water.
