Came across this picture, and in the interest of practicing uploading picture files and wanting to bring some juicy green life to the blog, I felt the urge to post it ! I have to say that I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing insects about again...the winter months seem so sterile without them. Is it that they represent some unsaid diversity ? I think we need to have an Insect Day....a day to celebrate their myriad forms, incredible solutions to ancient issues of climate, predators...hmmm...perhaps some day in mid June ? Or wait until the Cicadas are out and about..finished with their underground existence and have literally shucked it off, leaving their papery husks to be consumed by birds, dogs, and collected by children ? It would be a day for all insects...not just "beneficials" or the pretty.

Beautiful picture! He does look very juicy. Maybe we should do an Insect Day with the kids at the center. I was just reading an article from Orion about kids' disconnect with nature today. What a cool way to bring the back into the fold!
