The sculptural spools of thread on the bridge here reflect Willimantic's history as a textile manufacturing center, specializing in thread.

Rather than trace tack as Claire Shaeffer suggests I tailor tack the seam and placement lines using a double thread of soft cotton.

I love to sew and create.

Not the most flattering photo. I should have smoothed the capris out more, the doll has been sitting in them for a couple weeks, but it's a breezy day and I already had to lunge and catch her once when she started to fall.

Larvae feed on the paralyzed bodies of a variety of arthropods (the host varies according to wasp species) provided to them by adult wasps; common hosts include spiders, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.

Adults feed on nectar from flowers and extrafloral nectaries, honeydew, and body fluids of their prey.

I captured this one while it feed on the nectar of this Spanish Needle, in the vacant lot next door.
