ok..what? a brown widow?!...did they have those before? I've never seen one of heard of one of those. sry off topic :), cool micro id be cool to spot out those damn leaf miners, they are so hard to find, i just find the damage :cry:
 
you dont hear from them because they are not nearly as dangerous as a black widow. i think their bite just leaves a swollen red spot.

ive never tried to look for leaf miners. i get them over and over on my citrus tree. next time they come back ill get a look at them.
 
Cool toy. I have always been a fan of Celestron products and own their Ultima 8 x 56 binoculars and a C-90 spotting scope.
Wished I could afford a C-11 telescope. ;)
