They are mainly active in the winter months and have really neat cold-weather adaptations.

Today while I roamed my garden the female catbird meowed at me. She has three nestlings (there could be more but she is an expert at building concealed nests). None of my pictures are clear and I happily blame her and her beautiful distractions. #nativeplants #nativeinsects

Dragonflies and their wing venation has fascinated me for a long time. They have worked their beauty into my sculpture, renovating and dreams.

This empress is also known as the Giant Valanga, or Hedge Grasshopper.
