A. that's not something that should be in someones hand!

OK, it's no longer in my hand . It takes a while for these guys/gals to pump the juices into their pipes or veins or whatever conduits they have. |

if that's what that cute little winged thing grew into that's a shame!  P.S. I've looked for a photo of a skunk with cute eyes.... i'm not so sure that poem's correct!  Cicada? - Okanagana occidentalis |

Cool photo, Henry, and, no I don't know who it is. Haven't yet learned more than a few hopping folk, but the relatively short antennae, I think, make Jiminy a grasshopper rather than a cricket..... And, meanwhile, how about this oddball?
