(Also, though I hate to floccinaucinihilipilificate, I cannot find any trace of a neolasiopteran clade. The Lasiopteridi show no signs of one. Have you been creating bionic gall midges in your secret laboratory?)

That would explain those damned gnats in my bedroom. Especially the galling part. Would you like to bet against the emergence of such a clade? There's actually a whole network of these laboratories cranking out mutations and smuggling them into undeveloped countries so that our armies of surplus entomologists (soon to be thronged by ex-climatologists) can remain employed by weekly announcing new species. Things are so tough that a certain Dr. Cascara Buckthorn moonlights as a thrip teaser. --rwg Dr.'s kid Mondegreen: I grew up thinking they were tungdy pressers.
