Bugs

Living where we do there are always lots of bugs and creatures to look at and catch. Here's what we found today: On the trellis next to our front door we found this Monarch butterfly. We currently have about 5 caterpillars in various stages in the house as an "experiment".


I saw this on the tire swing tree. I think it's a Robber fly sexing up another Robber fly. Or maybe it's lunch. Or both.

We have a ton of Cicadas around here. We even caught one as it came out of the ground and Alexander got to watch it transform that evening in his room. I collected a bunch of these shells for a macro photo idea and had the poor judgment of putting them in a tupperwear and leaving them on the counter...sorry Candace.
