Tigers in the grass (lurking?).
Furry moth visited us at the clubhouse yesterday. Eric said it looked very ferocious when it stood up and extended itself. Hope it likes those nasty gnats - Tracy Rayhill said they are Buffalo gnats from Canada. What in the world are they doing down here? Here's an article which will give you lots of information but not much hope. The author claims that water temperature is decisive - over 66 degrees and the larvae all die. So our cool and wet Spring may be what has brought the little beasties our way. He also claims that there really isn't an effective spray against them. Well, we have a lot of golfers trying a whole lot of different things to disprove that. Vanilla extract has helped me. Diane just got home from her Community League round with Shirley Jeffers - they both did terrible because of what the Bedford paper (Diane reports) are calling 'biting midges'. She says whatever they are, they are still doing bad things. Morris Cornelius brought them some Avon Skin So Soft which worked...
Update: I think covering up is the best idea (or not going out but that's no fun...). So, have you thought of wearing a burka yet? I'm sure there is one that will fit your sense of flair and style.
