Billy Joe Fudge brings enlightenment on Knifley monster bug It's a Dobsonfly - the adult form of one of the top five natural fish baits known to man By Billy Joe Fudge That is either a genetically engineered, self-propelled tree feller from a Japanese Horror Film gone horribly wrong or a male Dobsonfly. Since I've bugged out (pun intended) on making up other folks minds for them I'll just let the reader decide. Of course the Dobsonfly is the adult form of the famed Hellgrammite. Hellgrammites have been labeled one of the top five natural fish baits known to man. Being included in with the likes of Horseweed worms, Spring lizards, Night crawlers, and Catalpa worms has to have made the species proud. Normally male Dobsonflies are about two inches long but since Knifley is much like Texas in that everything grows bigger there, I'm not at all surprised that this one is 50% larger than the norm. - Billy Joe Fudge Comments re photo 45474 COF needs identification for monster bug 2012-06-04 19:43:51 | Comments | Printable version

COF sends photographic proof of monster at Knifley, KY Click on headline for story and scary photo(s) Click to article in response: BIlly Joe Fudge brings enlightenment on Knifley monster bug By The COF In search of bug-learning As my old Latin teacher, Brother Fulgencia, used to mutter each morning as he entered the classroom "Caveat, Hic sunt Monstra et Dracones". The creature in the accompanying photo is obviously not a Dragon but Miz Emily figures we outta be a known' the name of those who opt to share our little bit of Eden. Reckon iffn ennyone knows the proper form of address for this guest we would be obliged iffen they saw fit to share hit with us. - The COF This creature is beyond the ken of the resident CM varmintologists - This is obviously a case for Dr. McQuaide or Billy Joe Fudge. Oh that Dr. Neat were still in the Historic Courthouse? He would have known. Those of us who studied hard at his feet can only remember what his first question would have been, if one had asked over the telephone. "Is it a fractious or peace loving creature?" Were he Linnaeous, we would have had trinominal nomenclature, with a modifier, for fractious or non fractious for each and every kind. Surely someone will know the answer you seek. -EW 2012-06-04 15:56:25 | Comments | Printable version
