Hey msgraph, you got any room under that rock for me? :)

That's actually an old IP block Google has been using lately.

LOL. I think I need to get out from under the rock because this is the third one I've missed in two weeks.

....[check] there is another one :) Image rarely hits my sites because...well there aren't that many images ;)

Got em by UA anyway so no harm done.

Googlebot-Image been most active on my main site the past few days.

I have them in the robots exclusion.
Which Google follows however they persist upon continuiosly reading.
Apparently Google needs reassurance ;-)

Almost simultaneously spidering was begun by PICA bot which i had removed from my robots because they hadn't visited in so long.
Now their back in although Pica can't read the robots.
It seems they keep getting a 403 ;-)
