Croc, I dutifully did a photo shoot at the oak tree. I also captured four of the bugs in a sandwich bag ... with a slice of whole wheat and a little mayo, I should have a nutritious lunch. Actually, I may take Ish's advice and inquire about them at a garden shop. I'm guessing they'll diagnose them as dangerous and try to sell me a bugicide. They successfully did this earlier when I asked them about a white web covering the trunk of the oak tree. They told me that it was a spider or mite or whatever and said I should spray the tree with a bottle of stuff they sold me. After dousing the tree, I later learned the web indicated a beneficial (to the tree) insect that shouldn't be sprayed. The present bugs are about 8 cm long and have long antennae of about the same length. Their long thin legs look like their antennae. When I turned on a photo-floodlight near them, they became very active and began an organized march away from the light. That might explain why they've been hanging out on the north side of the tree. I'm happy to report that they neither fly nor bite, so far. As for the photos, I used old-fashioned film and will report back later on how the pics came out.
