@vonny,
Love that. I haven't seen fireflies since I was a child in a suburb of Chicago. Schniff!

By the way, if anyone's interested, there are lots and lots of truly stunning photos of stunning animals at www.projectnoah.org/ I contribute a little there from time to time. Its purpose is to educate schoolkids about biodiversity and whatnot so that maybe the next generation may be a little (lot) more conscious of how human activity affects the rest of the species.

@vonny,
Looks somewhat more like an ocelot with that tail and ears.

@roger,
I agree with Roger. That doesn't look like a lynx.

Very welcome! Fortunately, there are plenty of people who don't focus so much on creepy bugs and spiders the way I tend to. Wink

@tsarstepan,
tsar, Thanks for posting the pic without the red X. You're a prince among men. Wait. If you're a tsar and then a prince, is that a demotion? Sorry. You're a mensch.
