Marooned in Maywick Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 [***Mod edit - topic moved and title changed***] Anybody familiar with the life cycle of a forky tail? I've found a fairly white one but it looks way too big to be a hatchling. D'you get albino forky tails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichorus Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 The forky tail will be freshly-molted. There is no such thing as an albino insect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wid be doin brawly good ta crush a horse we your foot, kinda reminds me of monty python... I ken whit du means, If you could walk into a shop to buy spray for killing birds in flight, dir wid be all hell on. Yet, its perfectly acceptable if its an insect. Da poor old mouse seems to faa into dat same catagory. Imagine if you could buy a thing lik a bear trap aff da shelf, for catching livestock, dir wid be all hell on!
