If you could catch some ripe nymphs this spring and hatch them into duns, it would be excellent reportage. Regards, Kurt

I'd love to hear about the cooler device. I've seen similar things but am always interested in a new take on something like that. PM me if you want, or just post where everyone can see... I'm sure others would like to know about that too.
