On the Himalaya of my finger, a small whatsit. There were hosts of these in the late autumn heat, probably the last hatch-outs of the year, getting down to business of preserving the species. Diptera? Hymenoptera? Looks waspy to me — where’s Dr. Kinsey when you need him — but I need the eyes of a ten-year-old, and you know how parents frown on their kids swapping their eyeballs for comic books.

I vote Hymenoptera, but I’m still undecided on wasp or ant.

I lean that way, too, Charlie. So damn small, though! Yesterday, there were many similar things flying in Prospect Park, and the Common Green Darners were massing in great scrums to eat them.
