A Little Visitor

Found a silverfish in my bathroom today.

Beautiful Day

Today was beautiful out! I went to the park and came across these jack pots

❤ 3 Cabbage Whites
❤ Tons of winged ants ( Mating season! )
❤ 2 winged Queen Ants
❤ 1 velvet mite
❤ 1 striped jumping spider ( it was black and white and I got to hold it )
❤ 1 hover fly
❤ 1 honey bee
❤ Tons of Robins
❤ 2 Canada Geese and their 2 chicks

The last one really hit me because it was so beautiful to see new life walking around me. I almost cried. Nature is beautiful.

Place Holder

I'll put something here soon.

Bug Of The Month - Common Wanderer Pareronia valeria

I know the name of the butterfly makes you think of the Monarch because it has the same name ( or almost ) as this one. The only difference is this! Photo from Wikipedia obviously. ;)

But what a read huh? And this one including other species in the genius Pareronia are on my favorite butterflies list now. W00T

Peace Out!

OT: A Little Note

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still alive. I'm on a roller coaster atm and that's why I haven't updated this ( or my other 2 blogs on here ) in a good while, because all this crap I've been through has been keeping me busy.

I'm working on filling in missing dates in April and maybe I'll do March as well because there's not that many post for that month.

I hope that all of you are well. I will try and update ASAP.

Peace Out!
