AliDar said at 12:29 a.m. on Apr 30, 2009: Very nice of you to plant milkweed for the monarchs! <3 :) Your shot of the spicebush swallowtail caterpillar looks like a fish, especially from above. Nice dof. The globe is interesting too. I'm wondering what it can be used for. ... btw, is the orange catapiller eating your jade? ... I haven't been seeing too many insects while I've been working, I miss them. Think I should find me some time to take my camera out and go looking for some...
