So true - loved Louie's Lower Level, the Cellar, the pool hall, Fiddly Fig, and the Mexican restaurant!

Newer Tucsonans have no idea how cool the Student Union used to be. I grew up here and loved Louie's Lower Level, the Cellar, the pool hall, Fiddly Fig, the Mexican restaurant...

And the POOL! Approx. between the food court & parking garage now.

Ants have been herding and tending soybean aphids for thier honeydew at the SWROC near Lamberton,MN. There are nymphs with wingpads, and at least one predator here.

After the 4th, you might want to start getting an idea of aphids in your area.
