LOVING THE GOD OF CREATION

Worshiping the Creator by observing His creation is what I like to do best.  This end of summer season is a great time for butterflies, caterpillars, and more.

At Roots the last several weeks visitors have been a Garden spider and her egg sack - several species of butterflies in their various life stages from egg to larva to pupa and then adult.  Thanks to John Laskowski we had 3 cecropia caterpillars and a display of a dissection of the cecropia  cocoon done by  Al Spoo.  We also had a saddle back (from Taylor Wingert) and a fiery skipper caterpillers (from Carl ? last name - a friend from insect club)

I started the last paragraph to tell about what we were doing at Roots but ended up showing you how valuable volunteer /  friends are to what I do.

Here are some recent pics from my nature adventures.

pair of meadow fritillaries ( I saw more than 30 at one time)

the plentiful sulfur butterflies are pretty too

fly on mint (can you id either species?)

A young falconer named Patrick gave a presentation at the Lancaster Bird Club.
He works for Zoo America in Hershey.

Great Horned Owl at Bird Club

Patrick brought more than birds with him.

Get out - and see what He is doing!
