        thanks....I just went to the hardware store to get my first barrel of 
free 
window screen (they apreciate it...lowers their dump fee) and 3/4 of it was 
the fiberglass kind.....so I'll take your experience and just accept the 
aluminum.....those pics of tree borers i just downloaded look quite capable 
of chewing plastic, and i bet voles are too.
        I watched a bumblebee i disturbed last year build a nest in 
fiberglass 
insulation by going in a circle  just chewing and depositing this tiny 
circular nest..wonderful to watch
