Thank you Shubhada,Yazdy,Kiran,Prashant,Katie,SatishjiTanayji Thank you all for the encouraging words. Kiranji..I did go back to your book and to quote the author 'it has been suggested that every species of creature on earth above a certain size has its own specialised nematode parasite....'That reminds me of an incident,during my first entomology field trip.I saw a thread like thing come out of a caterpiller.I showed it to Dr.Shubhalaxmi.She said"Usha,that is roundworm[nematode]! I was speechless.I never thought a tiny caterpiller will have its own roundworm![?] It is then I realised us humans are nothing but glorified caterpillers[?] Incidentally the book Kiranji has quoted is excellant if you are interested in THE SECRET OF TREES.thank you all again.Cheers Usha
