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.
