It Read VDI 55, Same As A Pull Tab, But That's Not What Showed Up In The Water Scoop :surprised:

[John-Edmonton]

Started to hunt another sports field, however, the second generation of mosquitoes were literally in my face, beside my face, in my hair and in my nose. All the DEET in the world wouldn't get rid of them. They weren't biting, just super annoying. So, after about a half hour, I shifted gears and headed to a nearby watering hole. The finds were few, however, a nice gold ring with 5 x ice cubes showed up in my water scoop. The VDI numbers was about 55, same as a pull tab. So.......if you notch out pull tabs, you would have missed this beauty.

That's what I would call a WELCOME SURPRISE.
