I especially liked the wheel bug eating a wasp, calmly sucking up liquified innards. And that first one with the fragment of sky and silhouetted caterpillar... Very nice photos!

I typed one in here yesterday myself, in response to Dick and Beth, but somehow it has disappeared. Dick - Please do! I'd be honored. Beth - Taking pictures and blogging them has forced me to learn a lot of things I wouldn't otherwise bother to look up. I didn't know that about "writing spider" and the milkweed tiger moth either before Sunday. Thanks, patry. The camera lens is a great teacher. Thanks for the comments.

I've reared a lot of monarchs, and can't walk past a patch this time of year without checking out the activity - so the posts and the photos are welcome fare.

That first picture is almost a poem in itself - the ominous shadow & the hole in the green revealing blue... Damn, I may go off & write it myself! As ever, fabulous photos & engaging commentary.
