Congratulations everyone and thank you so much to all who donated prizes! A special thanks to Dave & Trish for the gift of this wonderful place called ATP!

Lovey dubby It's always a joy to see that adorable little guy of yours; he is so sweet and always brings a smile to my face. I had the audio up on my laptop and my husband said: "It sounds like a little cutie there" ... so I showed him the video and it made him smile too.

Well, I have a batch of cookies in the oven so I need to get them out before I have fried mint/chocolate chip cookies! Green Grin!

It does, indeed. Hilarious! I'm just glad it wasn't @Sharon calling my name - she has special dispensation to call me "FLIT-wit" Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing


The book I'm donating -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/0881929921/

I'll order it from Amazon and have it drop-shipped to whichever winner chooses it. I was just telling Ann (redundant girl) that it has lots of up-close pics of bugs (more than I'm comfortable with, really), but it opened my eyes to the many different types of pollinators we have on this planet, not just bees/butterflies. And he has a couple indices full of native plants by region and host plants for lepidoptera, as well as a lovely chart that identifies how many lepidoptera species various trees hose (oaks win, with 534)
