Oof! Oof! Away you beast! Away!

 SPOTTED LANTERN FLY.

On the railing of my deck.

 Today is a big writing day for me. More coffee please!

Ernest Hemingway had wrin a short story about sending a log filled with ants into a burning fire, enjoying watching them die.

I threw water over the lantern fly to kill him.

Hope it worked.

In my spare time I'll write a story from the point of view of the Lantern Fly.
