This little moth landed on a Monkey Grass leaf while I was searching for other insects. 6/12/2021

Haven't had a chance yet to learn which species this is, but it sure is pretty. Found him near the lotus pond.

A Humming-bird Hawk-moth - an insect that at first glance looks and behaves like a bird.

From a series of photographs that I shot of a hatching insect egg, clock-wise from top left. I have also numbered the photographs in sequence.

I had found the eggs laid on the leaf 9 days ago on 27th May, 2007, see picture.

See what finally came out

After nine days of patience I was rewarded with these photographs. I just hope that I am lucky enough to be able to photograph the rest of its life cycle.

I am still not sure what it is going to turn into.

These are two photos of the same specimen found on (fresh) water surface in western Estonia. Photographed in aquarium.

Insect Artifact Frames! Made using a variety of supplies.

A quick Halloween Idea! Last week at King of Prussia Mall, I saw a shadow box w/faux bugs in it as decor. $125 to $150 each. I made my version using a recycled frame, sheet of scrapbook paper and rubber/plastic critters, dab of hot glue. My price $2.25. You can create a high end version w/an ornate double sided glass shadow box w/critter, silk ribbon for under $10. Perfect for last minute Halloween crafting and parties! xoxo

There is a tree growing in a neighbouring yard whose boughs reach over into my garden. I noticed that ants are farming some sort of godawful aphid or whatever on its terminal sprigs.
