I gave up on that old camera, but the new one came yesterday! They gave me an entirely new one. I still had light after I went through the settings; and there was enough of a partial charge in the battery to get outside. I finally ran into some bee flies! Unfortunately, my crab spider is gone. I photographed 3 different flies today. One, the Phasia fly is unreported in Vermont at Bugguide. It seems a perfect match to me, and I hope it is correct. I also wish for more information on them but can't find anything. I may have to buy a fly guidebook.

So far today it is cold and wet. We want to get out!
