Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.

There were 3 caterpillars in our backyard a week ago. I don't know where they are now, I hope the birds didn't eat them. They were big, about 6-7 centimeters.

 

Not a typo. My choice.

 

My lovely daughter-in-law took these two separate photos with her cell phone in her garden recently. I thought they deserve to be shared here .

 

There was strong backlight (burnout) going on, so I chose the easy route of nudging the background to an "artsy" white.

 

Both photos required cropping to enlarge them. I was amazed at how well they accepted the enlargement with relatively minimal pixilation.

Opomyza germationis and petrei can't easily be identified from each other in the field. Anyway, this one wasn't too camera shy.
