My first Monarch since moving here! I started a butterfly garden two years ago, specifically targeting monarchs and swallowtails. Got this lone caterpillar on native swamp milkweed that I’ve fought hard to keep going (is a tremendous aphid magnet).

Siri got a habitat upgrade today! She awoke (from her winter snooze) too big for her old tank (fitst photo / she was trying to get out). So far, she approves of the new one (second picture), though its not too big... Anyone else got snakes waking ...

Imperials! Have TWO Imperial Moths (Eacles imperialis) on my front door today. We've seen more of these, Polyphemus, and Luna Moths this year than prior years! I love living where I do, AWAY from pesticides that reduce insect numbers...

This tree frog has been living near our front porch, serenading, since early spring. Twice he's hitched rides into our house when I've brought in the watering can for refill at the kitchen sink. Makes my day whenever I see him! (photo courtesy of my ...

Ichneumon wasps: Does anyone know of any measures one might take to minimize predation on lepidopteran caterpillars by ichneumon (parasitic) wasps, short of feeding the larvae indoors? I find the very thought of such parasitism horrifying, circle of ...

Got any spring projects for the critters? Now that I've been freed from the corporate machine, I actually have TIME for some improvements! My daughter and I plan to plant edible herbs (for ourselves and our cats) and to put in some blooming plants ...

I just got new scaled babies! The shop had told me that there was no way to get any, and that they would cost at least $30 each. (thankfully, they were wrong on BOTH counts). Meet my new weather (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus or wild type dojo) ...

We have THE best bug wall at work! I see lots of mantises, walking sticks, etc... on it. This week, it's been mostly cicadas, post egg laying or mating. Today, I was able to camera "catch" this sphynx moth: Xylophenes tersa, I believe.

Spring is coming! The Zster snakes are back to eating weekly... The king snakes are waking up after a winter nap. I am always amazed by how much bigger they are for having been sleeping and not eating. Here's Siri ("Sirius Black"), my youngest ...
