Eating leaves, living their lives, looking forward to a nice long nap in a cozy cocoon. Can you guess what they’ll look like when they wake up? Hold tight!
Here’s Apatelodes torrefacta. Just chillin’.
And here’s Apatelodes torrefacta, in full moth form.

Hey there, milkweed tussock moth!
Finally, salutations to the woolly bear caterpillar, keeping it real. Really furry, that is.
Fly free, woolly bear moth!

Happy Fourth of July!
Posted: July 4th, 2020 | Author: timp67 | Filed under: T Writes | Tags: Beauty, Cleverness, Goals and Achievements, Holidays | No Comments »Fourth of July is a holiday traditionally celebrated with fireworks. And fireworks come in many forms. Colorful explosions of flowers. Vibrant crayon drawings. And corn!
This is glass gem corn, a heritage variety cultivated by Oklahoma farmer Carl “White Eagle” Barnes.
Photo and story found at Seedbroadcast
Seed-keeper Carl was half-Cherokee, half Scottish-Irish, and in the course of growing older corn varieties he was able to isolate and cultivate ancestral types that had been lost to various Native tribes after their relocation to the Oklahoma territory in the 1880s. Carl’s philosophy: “The Seed Remembers.”
I stand in a radiant Glory
My roots in the heart of Mother Earth
My crown in the clouds of Father Sky
The Four Winds encircle me in spirals of Love
One going up, then down
One going down, then up
They meet in the Center of Complete Perfection—
The Human Stalk of Corn
—Carl Barnes
