Brian's World
Send your bug questions to Brian, About Amherst's entomologist at maryelizacarey@gmail.com, and he will answer them. Give him some idea of how big it is, what it was doing, what plant it was on, if any, the time of day and whether there were lots of them. (Click "Bugs!" TAB above to see some past entries.)
