Impossible thing of the morning: to clean aphids off an eryngium flowerhead by hand.

We have two varieties of wineglasses. The bowl of one resonates a major third higher than its foot does, and the other's bowl is a second higher than that, and its foot is a fourth down, so ending a fifth down from the first's bowl.

1. Ladybugs?

2. Are you familiar with glass organs, that use nested, tuned bowls rotating on a spindle and someone plays them? They were very popular in the late 1700's; big-name composers wrote songs for them.

Maybe. Have you ever known anyone to convince ladybugs to stay and eat what they (the ladybug herder) wanted eaten?

I've heard of them, as glass harmonicas, but have never seen one.
