Das Fotografieren von Schwebfliegen könnte mein neues Hobby werden. Die halten wenigstens kurz still.

In my Tucson, AZ yard I’ve had 6 Queen Butterfly larvae pupate & eclose as butterflies in the past month! Here’s my Perpetual Journal art of a Queen chrysalis, Northern Cardinal & Brittlebush.

My new bee drawing has not been snapped up yet! It's a small drawing and easy to DIY frame, so the price won't 'sting' too much!

The Cabbage White butterfly is a species that thrives in many habitats, they are a familiar sight in the UK, fluttering in abundance during late spring and summer.

This Dock Bug (Coreus marginata) seen this afternoon looks like a fortified rusty iron robot. Probably useful for loading flatbeds.

I’m using the Easter break to teach myself macro photography… This is my first ever focus stack! How did I do?

I seem to have a lot of paper wasps in the yard at the moment.. I'm pretty sure they have a nest in the roof of the garage because they're following the fence line along to it.

I don't have to get rid of them, right? Like they're not terribly harmful or aggressive and I can just leave them be (pun intended..) and not have to get someone in to kill them, right?

Some days we wake to find a silverfish (sølvkre) on our bathroom floor. Our neighbours have the same and asked the board if they could do something to get rid of them.

According to FHI they aren't really a problem unless it's out of control and they're eating your antique books and stamp collection.

They're cool little insects though. Fast movers, shiny silver, fluid movements.
