Nuclear Bugs

[actdonn]

I was rereading AC's archives (2nd quarter 2003). Did anyone find out what kind of bug that was.

I'm no entomologist but I'd say that AC was a bit off track thinking that was a midge.
I'd say that bug was one of the small, parasitic, solitary wasps.

Taxon It was called the nuclar bug in ACs archive.

Dudley The reason I was asking, I tied up my verson of it and tryed it at the trout durbey at the blue river in OK. I wish I had tyed more of them . After 17 trout it fell apart. The only bug I found that had any red in it was a dragon fly. Thank you for your input.

A red ant would be real close.

Okay, I found the article, Nuclear Bugs. It was written by Al Campbell. Somehow, when you said AC's archives, I managed to translate that to JC's archives. Ah well.

I believe Al's "Nuclear Fly" to be of order Diptera (True Flies), probably of family Lauxaniidae (Beach Flies), possibly of genus Minettia, which contains (16) N. American species.
