Somebody stop me !

An Eastern Giant Swallowtail it is.

In my dogged pursuit of low carb beers, EIGHT Elite Light Lager came to my attention rivaling Michelob ultra with only 90 cal and 2.6 carbs. There was no mention of where it was brewed but the bottom of the carton bore a silhouette of Texas with a star about where I live. So it has to be a Texas bee...

Years ago before I let my picture windows get dirty whenever a bird would fly into the glass and knock himself out I would put him on the picnic table away from the ants and dogs and see if he recovered. Several did, one or two did not. This Pine Warbler is almost completely recovered. https://lh3.g...

Since I quit washing my picture windows
I have had no bird strikes.
That's my excuse and I'm going to stick to it.

That is the most amazing web I have ever seen.

The praying mantis is a European Mantis
The dragonfly is a Common Darter Meadowhawk.
The caterpillar will morph into an Old World Swallowtail.

Keep us posted.

This caterpillar will become a pupa

named for the Greek cyclops.
It is a species of giant silk moth

Female Ruby Throated Hummingbirds.
Only the males have red throats.

Condylostylus patibulatus
A species of long legged fly.

What about the ClipiTool Standard?
It has a bottle opener and can opener,
two screwdriver blades and a wire stripper.
Just add tribute etching on the blade for Trail Life.
And it is more affordable for scouts.

As for the toothpick, whittle a point on a twig.
That's what the blade is for.

Red Wasps, Umbrella Paper Wasps, have been swarming my back porch. At 10pm I go out with a bright flashlight and wasp spray and spray them where they roost in groups on the ceiling of the porch. I've killed a couple dozen that way already but there were still a dozen on my picture window today. This...

Southern Ground Yellowjacket
Ruby Throated Hummingbird

Yes it is! Outstanding.

Ruddy Darter, species of Meadowhawk dragonflies.
Is that dragonfly perched on a Spyderco Dragonfly?

Nice shot of a Hackberry Emperor.

Yes, Seek identified it as a Spotted Pink Ladybeetle.
