By tradition, the Ramones, the Damned, and the Saints generally get credit for recording the first punk rock records—and they were still vinyl LPs in the early 1970s when the albums appeared. But well before these musicians took center stage, there was an earlier uber-influencer going by the name of Juriniopsis. This genus of hirsute flies is part of a vast group of parasitic insects in the fly family Tachinidae, and these dipterans are well-known for laying their eggs on a vast array of unfortunate invertebrates. This incredibly hairy critter, probably Juriniopsis adusta, appeared today on the flower panicles of our Hydrangea, and according to the experts, the tachinid was looking for either a Tiger Moth or a Silver-spotted Skipper to make life miserable for either the adult or its caterpillar. Ordinarily, I don't like to take sides, but I'm less than inclined to wish the parasite success. My sentiments are definitely with the moths.
