Leather jackets do turn into craneflys.I think anything that looks grub like i would be inclined to get rid of on the basis its bound to eat something you want

Thanks for the link Gnarly...That looks exactly right...:>)

sorry couldnt find it . i guess you must of seen it but just hard to believe such a comparativly large pupa turns into a tiny bodied fly when a little maggot turns into a quit big blue bottle .

The link worked for me Nosey and it sounds strange, but it is true....

it does sound strange motinot but i stand corrected . i looked it up somewear else and the parent beasty is a crane fly . i looked quit deeply into it and the grub isnt as big as i thaught it was when you look at other pictures of it . im glad i was wrong . thanx for teaching me something i didnt know .

I learned something too, thanks Nosey and thanks to Gnarly....:>)

your welcome
