Site Editor Indiana Posts: 505	Dickson Despommier, a retired professor of Public Health and Microbiology at Columbia University, and a life-long trout angler/ecologist, kindly shared with me a recently developed website that might be of interest to some of those who haunt this site. http://www.thelivingriver.org/ Enjoy! PS Jason, if you don't want other sites promoted, feel free to delete this post. I was asked to share, and so I am doing so.

I believe they should be be spelled "Caddisfly" and "Stonefly", as only Dipteran common names are properly spelled with a space before the "fly". And yes, I plead guilty to being an intransigent nitpicker. :-)

Lest we forget, only birds have official common names...there is no such thing as a "Canadian goose", they're Canada geese...there's no such thing as a "seagull", they are herring gulls or ring-necked gulls, etc....but I certainly get your point, only the Diptera are true flies, like the Hemiptera (I think they're now called the Heteroptera) are the only true bugs. Which reminds me of a Peace Corps story...my (now ex-) wife and I went with a couple of friends of ours to one of the properties owned by the university I was teaching at in Chile (Catholic University of Maule), a beautiful spot called Costa Azul (Blue Coast) right on the south Pacific Ocean. In our hiking around the place, my ex and I saw an interesting insect, which was a true bug in the Hemiptera (or whatever!), and upon showing it to our friends they asked, well what is it, you entomologists? And our response was, "It's a bug!" "NO SH*T!! We already knew that!!" And I don't think our explanation helped... ;oD Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
