Bravo, Kenneth - wit without naughtiness !

An EVF with enough resolution and performance to match an optical SLR viewfinder would
be a real power hog.

Last weekend my wife and I went down to the Monterey Historics.
She picked up a copy of the event program, which had a rather
nice cover showing a Ferrari 512 in the corkscrew (the same
picture was also used on the promotional poster for the event).
I knew I'd got a similar photograph from a
Wasp larva getting ready to hatch and feed on a Tomato Hornworm caterpillar.
The caterpillar is in turn feeding, of course, on a tomatoe plant.
My vote goes to the wasp, I love tomatoes!
How'd I do?
