Another one bites the dust !  Thanks a lot for your reply, I'll go and study the differences, hoping to do better next time. Philippe PS Looking it up, I got the answer to a question that had puzzled me for a while : When on vacation in the Southwest of France a few years ago, I was talking to a truffle "hunter" who told me that, in the region, they search for truffles " a la mouche" (with the fly). They spot a "small golden fly" he said, who hovers above the spots where a ripe truffle is located. I now see that the fly in question belongs to the genus Suillia, and the picture in the article I found is very much indeed like this one... Edited by Philippe moniotte on 05-10-2007 13:17 |
