Hi Mary! I live in Indianola, Kitsap County, Washington State, USA. This
area is across the Puget Sound from Seattle, and is on the Olympic
Peninsula.


Well, Bob, I'm in Yorkshire, England, Great Britain. But I've been to USA
twice (in 1990 and 1993), both times to stay with beekeeping friends who
lived next to Goss Lake, Whidbey Island. That is, he, Mel, WAS the
Washington University Apiarist. While I was there I made friends with Jim
Bach, the Washington State Apiarist. Mel and his wife had retired to the
island after living in Seattle. Between them they took me to many parts of
Seattle, Western Wa and Central Wa.

They were among the most happy and memorable times of my life!

I'm methodically researching names and am adding them to the images as I
get them. I've been lazy, but my interest is up now. Aren't we blessed
with the Internet. There are a bunch of Identification sites out there,
like Bug Guide http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740


We are blessed indeed but I look forward to hearing from you what they
are. You're in a better position than I am to identify them.

I need to learn the difference between insects, and not. Easier to do
since I retired :-) Thanks for your comments and response - IM (Bob)


Well, for a start, count the legs. Spiders aren't insects :-)

Thanks for replying, I'd be happy to continue by mail.

Mary
