Yes, that is probably Ruth Patrick's and Charles Reimers' series of
monographs. Just tiny plants living in a glass box they make all by
themselves. Fascinating.

If you ever get really freaked out identifying these, I have the
monographs and a microscope you can come over and use. But I do not
think I will hold my breath waiting for someone to take me up on that
one. Diatom gardening, anyone?

I took one look at that book and said to myself, "no, that just cannot be
possible!" : )

On another note, I have not yet seen one grasshopper this year. Not a
nymph to
be found. I wait for them to come out to put the NoloBait out. Has
anyone seen
hoppers yet? Maybe that late ice storm got em. Particularly since the
very day
before that it was 80 degrees! Ah, Texas weather. I'd never move back to
New
York.

Well, you should probably get ready. They're beginning to show up out in
Webberville, little bitty ones about 1/2-3/4" long.
