common whitetail female dragonfly.

halfwing moth caterpillar.

we transported this cute monster from the shelter to his foster yesterday. he is a very sweet boy. charlie came with and was not impressed because the pup tried to hump him pretty much immediately. it seems we are not fostering this dog which is great because he is 1) humpy and 2) old. it was said that he had his baby teeth and, um, no. his name is duncan as he was dumped at dunkin donuts and the staff there took him in and got him to the shelter.

copper underwing caterpillar.

( also, a friendly jumping spider )

jef said "so, there's a baby spider explosion happening that you might want to take pictures of." ( and, lo... )

the red admirals were having territorial battles in the yard yesterday so i sat down to watch. this one rested on my knee for a bit. it finally stopped raining, omg.

lol

the world is wet and bedraggled.

tiny wildflowers!

creature feature in the yard yesterday! a few toads, lots of spiders, and this very nice snake. when we saw it, it crawled under the fence to the neighbor's yard and promptly got harassed by the kids and their frenchie and came right back. jef moved it to a better location and our dogs started bugging it so we turned the sprinkler on near it so the dogs would stay away.

( spider! )
