Re: help identify lily varmint
Donna,
Nope, but thanks for looking. I wanted to post some photos earlier in the
week but my scanner's been on the fritz. It finally decided to work this
morning so I put some pics up on my Yahoo Briefcase. They are not
well-focused, but will give you some idea of what he looks like. He has a
sort of humpbacked bumpy blue-green shell on his back, looks sort of like an
army helmet. When squished he was bright green. I've sent a yahoo message
to the list on where to view the photos; should come through soon.
Kitty
