    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Fire

Bright! I like them with and without pattern, so I look for bright babies. Also, as adults, I would look for creamy/faded ones, if possible. Most importantly, I would look for females...lol.
 
Don't get a questionable one... This is an old pic too, new one coming soon.

Wilbanks has the Daves line from the UK I believe ,I like bright and high contrast! make sure they are proven black eyed lucy super.I produced some nice ones last season ;)
 
I got a male from Mike Wilbanks with a nice reduced pattern. I got a female from Garrick DeMeyer that is extremely light and creamy colored with nice blushing. Both are very nice examples of fires. It would be cool to get one that has a reduced pattern, with light and creamy color and high blushing :yesnod:
 
Great responses everyone, I appreciate it. I'm looking for a male for my two female pastels for next year. This year they both were paired with my bumblebee male and next year I'd like to add some fireflies to my group
 
First girl is from Bob Pitt. :thumbsup:
Second girl is from Diego Velarde, photo credit also goes to Diego. :thumbsup:
