Just what we need, another buggy member.  Welcome. Just don't say anything favorable about Chinese Lady Beetles.

I hate ladybugs or Chinese lady bug beetles or what ever the fugg they are.
Took care of them fuggers earlier this fall with my mixture of bug killing
Zyklon B.
Looked like Pol Pots killing fields for a couple of days around the porch and outside window sills.
Everyone here got their tee hees and haw haws outta my post.
Now that we got a bug guru....
Why in the fugg are those things attracted to white colored stuff.

Decided to sign up after reading posts on this site for awhile. I am a retired Entomologist that just moved from Florida (after 40+ years) to the north Georgia mountains. Just needed to slow down and smell the daisies! I've been hunting all my life... archery and gun, and have had lots of fun and met many wonderful folks. Being a bit different (liking bugs...lol) I prefer single shot rifles and crossbows for most of my hunting. Works for me.
I am married with one daughter and two grandkids. I did not wake up dead today, so life is good. Ric, Welcome to the Fire. If you are looking for an additional hobby fly fishing and entomology are like ham and eggs. Fly fishing is all about bugs. I also understand, although I have no first hand experience, that north Georgia mountains have some very good fly fishing for trout. Just a suggestion to help keep busy in your retirement.

OK.......that's enough small talk.
Here's a few questions you need to answer.....your answers will determine your fate here on the fire so answer carefully.
1) First and probably the most important = ice in Whisky, yes or no? Naked Bourbon
2) Do you own a 6.5 Creedmoor. NO
3) Chainsaws, do you own an inexpensive Echo homeowner model or a proper 30" Jonsered pro model. 2 Stihl
4) Is "light" beer really beer? It ain't heavy, it's my beer.
5) And last but certainly not least, beans in Chili. yes or no. Don't eat chili... makes me fart.
Bonus Question A or B? C
A) There's no such thing as a bad Cop.
B) There's no such thing as a good Cop.

Thanks for the suggestion. There is, indeed, great fly fishing here on the Toccoa and others.
