If Hawaii had such a bug--gives the mosquitoes a run for their worth, but they keep our geckos happy--my compliments on first place Andrea, Aloha William

I just remember a gecko falling from my medicine cabinet...but he had the run of my house to keep those awful flying cockroaches at bay, as did my cat. The cat cornered the cockroach...so funny...never saw a bug afraid before that or since!

This image reminds me of the summer nights I spent on grandfather's farm. There don't seem to be too many fireflies around these days. ~ Regards // paul
