Cinda how cool!!!! Great shot!

Very interesting Melanie not only about the different ways they hide the frass but also about the ZST's using their jaws & throwing each other around.
Yes, there is a lot of misinformation out there about any subject you want to pick. Someone makes a supposition based on something they saw or *heard* & then it gets promulgated over & over again & goes down as gospel. I always ask myself who was this that said such & such, how observant are they, did they make a rash conclusion, did they consider all the possibilities, did they consider they may be wrong, did they ask themselves if they had all the pieces of the puzzle and so forth.

I put a great deal of stock in what you write because I've seen over time that you DO ask yourself those questions. And lots of times you specify this is just what you think based on your observations but it could be this or that or something or other. And I know that you observe a GREAT DEAL of the time & piece things together not just from one incident but from years of observations. And last but not least I really appreciate it when someone is not so conceited that they can actually say those 4 little words that seem so difficult for most people to say: I COULD BE WRONG. Thank goodness you have the ability to say them.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
