Rick, thanks for the info on this one...I'll keep an eye on it and see what
it does.

Well, sir, I'll just have to take that as a compliment :) They are
absolutely huge! Now I can't wait til next year!!

So far it doesn't appear that any damage is being done to the fans, just
seeing them there is annoying. I did see the typical green aphids and got
those buggers feircely! It was mentioned in another email that the red and
black might also be aphids...I know that aphids are bad news, just didn't
know that they came in different colors! The green and red ones squish
really easy, but the black ones need a little more pressure, almost like
they have a "shell" on them. I'll keep an eye out on these too.

Thanks again, for this info too...California is kind of whacko in it's
climates, so now I'll be:

Tammy K.
Zone 9/Sonoma County, 40 miles east of the coast in Northern Ca. (how's
that?? sounds kinda dorky...I'll think of something better in the morning
