In one end and out the other.

Note the tiny drop on it's rear end with the hose reflected in it!

Essa foto fiz no Passeio Público quando saí pra fotografar com a fantástica fotógrafa Raquel Santana. A bichinha ficou paradinha e deu pra fazer fotos bem próximas, essa foi a que eu consegui chegar mais perto.

Unusual find, I recorded it after ID

Along the banks of Western Maryland streams the Bronzed Tiger Beetles and Twelve-spotted Tiger Beetles can be found in heathy numbers. Only in a couple very limited sections of shore can you also find the very rare and endangered Appalachian Tiger Beetle (Cicindela ancocisconensis) pictured above. The Appalachian Tiger Beetle is protected within Maryland and those few sites where it is known to occur are kept secret for fear of over collection. Undisclosed stream in Western Maryland.

"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may light upon you." Hawthorne

On Jenna's arm, the 11 year old, enjoyed hiking, horses, swimming in 48 degree water and insects. Taken near Sisters, Oregon at 4500ft.

Young jumping spider

Very green! It was rather a dull day, which slowed this sawfly down, but made it difficult to shoot the photo at a fast enough shutter speed to avoid blurring. I include the photo here, because this sawfly is such an extraordinary combination of lurid green and yellow/green colours.

Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae

The Monarch Butterfly larva.

This butterfly is probably the most photographed butterfly in the world.

BC: Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae). The Monarch butterfly is also sometimes called the Milkweed butterfly because its caterpillar feeds in Milkweed plants (Asclepias sp.). The caterpillar displays the yellow-orange-black pattern with some white as well, but is considered to fit into the defensive color pattern of milkweed insects. Some people call the insects that live on Milkweed and that are red, orange and black as part of the "Monarch Mimicry Complex".
