You might think this sounds crazy, I was online researching the name Swengel. My name is Scott Eric Swengel. I was wondering if there is any relation. There is a little town above Harrisburg Pa. that is called Swengel town. My Grandma told me when I was little, I am 40yrs old now, that are name was once spelled Zwingly then it was changed back by my great great grandparents. There are alot of Swengel’s in South Central Pennsylvania. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take Care

hi i was searching for a match to beautiful larvae i found in my garage. i suspected that it had come from the ficus that my neighbor keeps near the garage. i found a match for it right away when i searched ficus larvae. the pic you took came up in the search. i think this is the prettiest one i have seen yet. the others look a little more brown. maybe there is a reason for that i dont know about. thanks for the pretty pic.
