Heat advisories
do not seem to bother the bugs.
The Black Swallowtail has been laying eggs
in the fennel all summer.
a few times each day.
I watch the Tigers
spread pollen.
The relationship between the bugs
and plants is amazing.
The Hummingbird Clearwing Moth
is my bug of the month in August.
I am in awe
every time I see one.
The world of the insects
captivates me.
When I am out with the bugs,
with the Orange Sulphurs,
Eastern Tailed Blues,
Gray Hairstreaks or
Lacewings I feel connected.
I love the plants with their bugs.
It is the way of nature
that inspires me and teaches me.
I cannot be outside in the heat
for very long anymore.
I spend a few minutes each day with the bugs
than come inside to read,
to study,
to plan for cooler days.
I am thinking about October decorating.
I shall be a Mad Scientist this
Halloween.
I am saving jars
planning ways to use the tall
grasses of summer.
Happy Sunday Safari.

Dear Sherry, The photographs of the butterflies and clearwings are so very beautiful. I am in awe of your work.....
I love the clearwings, they are exquisite creatures. I do not know how you manage to capture them flying. I struggle.....I normally end up with a ghastly blur.
The caterpillars are amazing....the colours....and such a sweet face. I love to see my leaves eaten........something is eating the silver birch leaves, I am hoping it is purple hairstreak caterpillars, the betula is a host plant.
Crop circles are amazing. I have seen them in the fields, they always fascinate me.
I have been reading about ancient plants today........the book fits perfectly with unicorn. Many of my plantings this year, have come from unicorn, it has inspired me.
A beautiful post........amazing captures, amazing you.
We had a little Sunday safari, too and I hope you'll come by to see if I've identified a tri colored heron! I love your big fat caterpillars...and that hummingbird moth is just the neatest thing I've ever seen! Hugs! ♥
Sherry, Sherry, Sherry, your photography skills are AWEsome. I have had to look at these photos over and over. I am so glad you are still doing the Sunday Safari. It is such fun to see what bugs are in your garden. Try to stay cool.
I saw your comment on Dear Spatzi and am so glad I decided to check out your blog. Gorgeous photography!
Ms. Sherry, in your opinion, are there any bad bugs? ;)
Hi TC!
So good to hear from you!
The only bad bug is one that gets into my computer!
I do love the bugs.
Sherry
I've been enjoying the same butterflies here as you, Sherry, but I've yet to see a hummingbird moth--what a beautiful creature! I agree the butterflies seem to enjoy the heat of the day, but like you, I prefer to stay inside and read in the hot afternoons.
Looking forward to seeing what concoctions you cook up as a mad scientist this fall:)
