Those are called "Long Legged Flies" - very beautiful metallic colors. Adult flies are predaceous (eat) on small mites , Aphids and flea hoppers, booklice, thrips, flies, silverfish, - They are not like those garbage flies. They are great for the health of a garden.

Always heard you can eat those but never had enough balls to try to cut into one - LOL!.
Make sure you take the skin off ... it's tough when cooked.
I make it exactly like eggplant parmesan only substituting the eggplant with thick slices of the puffball. It's Gourmet.

Great - plus I love eggplant - grow it in the garden. Used to bread it then fry in oil. But got an air fryer and now just brush each side with Olive Oil then season with Italian seasoning - 25 minutes one side, flip, 20 more mins, wonderful! Here's 2 I picked yesterday - can't wait to prepare them.

Our ECM shop had one for flightline use. A shop truck. Had a 6 cylinder in it, but it was powerful. Drove it for 3 years in Germany at Hahn AB. Not it, but looked like this, without the spoke type wheels. lol

So mentioning the moon - Has anybody seen HG Wells "First Men In The Moon" movie from many years ago? Even though it's so "cheesy" I'll always watch it when I can find it........From 1964 it has a pretty good story line!

OK, it is still mid week, but here are a few from Saturday's hike to and on Byron Glacier:
The previous scenic views were taken with my Nikon SLR (D-90). Here are some added views from the iPhone. Interestingly, some of the lighting is actually better with the iPhone shots. Then too, the iPhone's unique panorama mode offers an added perspective:

Found a bunch of coin depot bid board stuff cleaning the garage.
Sigh, I don't even have a garage. But that is awesome!
