They appear in september or so and plaster themselves against the siding, particularly on sunny days on south facing walls. Some get into cracks and actually make it inside the house. Other than that, they seem to be harmless. I don't know how to get rid of them though. -- Warren Montgomery ihnss!warren IH x2494
