Isn't that elephant pic a High One rather than a High Five?

I think that parrot in the teacup is a conure, reminds me of mmy dear departed Benjie, whom I had (or he had me) for nearly thirty years. He did love his bath, in anything that held water.

Long-tailed mayflies, palingenia longicauda, mate on the surface of the Tisza river in Hungary. Millions of these mayflies engage in a frantic rush to mate and reproduce before they perish in just a few hours during the Tisza blooming season from late spring to early summer.

@MontereyJack,

I respect the picture only rule, but, we can't get this little gem in without drawings for obvious reasons. I stretch the rules for just one time with interesting explanation of what we are seeing attached:

@ossobuco,

I feel rather sorry for the mayflies - such fragile beauty and such ephemeral lives ...

@vonny,

I have seen them flying around in blissful attachment many a time. They do have a very merry life too! Wink

@hingehead,

So it's a real project? Mouse housing? Seems unlikely. Or all about quips?

@ossobuco,

QI (quite interesting) goes to great pains to get it right, so I'm sure it's real. Just hold your breath while I run off to the inter webs.
