I will try. Smile Mud is the solution. Smile)


Today, here, temperatures arose above 40 ?C (temperatures in Portugal will be, in general, above 40?C until next Wednesday! It seems we are in Sahara desert... these temperatures aren't usual.)!
I saw asilidae, anthomyiidae, syrphidae, tachinidae flies everywhere. Wasps and bees... a lot of them... specially, beautiful Ammophila sp. I saw Hogna radiata, Oxyopes sp.; (spider species) and some thomisids, and other lycosids.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
