What's bugging you?

I few of my bug / flower pics....

I spent a few hours at the Antique Rose Emporium this weekend. I'm not sure who had more fun finding bugs....me or the green lizards eating them! Between that and the very large amount of rose scented air I inhaled, it was heavenly!

Very nice. Bugs are always more photogenic than people. Where's the lizard?

I had to track down that wild, blue caterpillar. I've never seen one like that. Apparently it is Malacosoma disstria, the Forest Tent Caterpillar.

Thank you for the research!! We we're having fun trying to pick out what the images on it's back looked like. Our favorite was a row of black eared sheep as seen from above.

They are penguins with their wings extended.

In about a month you'll have some tobacco flower pictures. Are the flowers just bait for the bugs?

I'm so looking forward to it! It is only natural that the flowers are bait for the bugs. The bugs are lucky that tobacco flowers are among the catch and release type of plant!

She lives up in Aggie land, up there they say "there'll never be another ewe".

Thank you. I tried to get a better shot of him, but the wind simply wasn't cooperating!
