Anyone know what the f*** this bug is? Looks like a cross between a bee, a wasp and a bat. Hard to tell from the pic, but it's probably about twice the length of a normal bee. I'm in Austin, TX, but can't find a pic of this in the Texas bug books I have.

Maybe a hummingbird clearwing moth? The color isn't quite the same, but the color pattern and body shape is about right.

Nice find! Definitely a clearwing moth, looks like it could be a Snowberry Clearwing Moth based on the coloration. Mine seems to have shorter wings than the ones in these pics, but I've been told size isn't everything.

Some more links with pics for those interested.

curious banknote

I found this when I was cleaning out my dad's apartment. It was apparently over printed with black and inflated from 10 whatevers to 10,000 whatevers.

So there you have it. Actually, I have it.

If my math is right this may be worth fifty U.S. cents.


córdoba (C$)Nicaraguan monetary unit from 1912 to 1988. Relatively stable for most of that period, the córdoba's value plummeted in 1985. By mid-1988 the official rate was US$1 = C$20,000 (US$1 = C$60,000 on the black market), and the córdoba was replaced by the new córdoba (C$n; q.v.) at a rate of 1,000 córdobas to 1 new córdoba.

We get a lot of those here... when in flight they look like a hummingbird.

other examples of hyperinflation of currency:

Quote:
Nicaragua
Nicaragua went through the worst inflation from 1987 to 1990. Before 1987, the highest denomination was 1,000 cordobas. By 1987, it was 500,000 cordobas. In the 1988 currency reform, 1 new cordoba was exchanged for 1,000 old cordobas. The highest denomination in 1990 was 10,000,000 new cordobas. In the mid-1990 currency reform, 1 gold cordoba was exchanged for 5,000,000 new cordobas. The overall impact of hyperinflation: 1 gold cordoba = 5,000,000,000 pre 1988 cordobas.
