Well, today I saw this sulfur butterfly and a Texas Powdered Skipper:

And here's a Snowberry Clearwing Moth that emerged today in the container in which I raised it. I released it afterward...love how they fly...kind of hover-flying!

And then there's the Spicebush Swallowtail caterpillars that I brought home from a native plant nursery. First one is smaller and still has a bird-dropping form. The larger one has taken on a green appearance with eyespots. SO cute!

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
