If it's the same relative, in addition to the vent, he also invented a game.

You bounce a ping pong style ball off the table and into the pockets. Pockets at the edge are worth more.

Getting the ball into the pockets is nothing.
It's only worth more if your opponent has to retrieve them.

Yep. We found that in my father's stuff (he was a hoarder) after his death.

I didn't know that! Wait 'til I tell Mom. Dad's only living sibling no longer recognizes his wife, and thinks his sister, who died last year at the age of 90, is still 14.

Google has all US patents, so it's easy to do a search for the inventor's name.

Don we now our Gailey Apparel...
Give us this day our Gailey bread

Gravdigr · 10-31-2012, 03:58 PM

First off, I don't know what kind of bug this be...That's why I'm asking you.

We saw dozens of these things hitting our Zinnias (?) pretty hard the other day. I've never seen these things before.

4 wings, 2 of which are vertically oriented, like the tail surfaces on an F-14 Tomcat jet.

Anybody got any ideas?

Miller moth

Gravdigr · 11-01-2012, 03:33 PM

I'm not sure about the Miller Moth...head shape isn't right, no vertical wingset...The vertical wingset is vertical at rest, on all the examples we've seen here, anyway.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2012, 03:45 PM

Gypsy Moth?

(look at the gif showing how gypsy moths have spread from 1900-2007)

infinite monkey · 11-01-2012, 03:45 PM

Your moth doesn't have as much hair on his ears...probably a weather thing.

Gravdigr · 11-01-2012, 04:21 PM

Are you folks looking at the pic in post #2169?

Vertical wings, like these tailfins:

I really do appreciate the input, though.

Really.

I will begin calling it "The F-14 Tomcat Bug".
