Nature Picspam!

Okay, anybody who knows me at all, knows that I'm a huge nature freak. I like spiders, and snakes, and all those creepy crawly type things. And I'm a total "animal rescue" freak as well. When I ran a summer camp, I used to run a "spider saving club" (which consisted of me and one young girl), and we used to find spiders indoors, and kindly move

Aww, I am honoured that you liken me to Steve Irwin. He was an awesome, awesome man, and I really loved his work!

Yep, as far I've learned in my Googling, the last "batch" of monarchs do migrate down to Mexico in the fall. I've never seen it, but I've heard it's beautiful, as they "swarm" like birds, and all fly together. They truly are beautiful creatures, though!

Who knew I was in the LJpresence of my very own entomologist? The milkweed's pretty, though.

Tee hee hee ... it would be quite fun to be an entomologist. I do love my bugs (so Jack and I would get along *swimmingly*!).

The milkweed was really pretty, but because the caterpillars ate even the flower buds, I didn't get to see many bloom :(

Kimber - friend to even the smallest creepy crawlies! Great pictures, my friend. I'm not as into the nature stuff as you are, but I can appreciate a good, earthy-story.

As for fish flies - not a big fan. Not scared, more like... grossed out. When I went to camp, they would literally cover our cabins in the morning, as well as anything else we'd left outside. Sure, maybe they do only live for 24 hours, but after that day their stinking, slimy carcasses coated our lakeshores and floated in the water. You try to get a bunch of 12-14 year olds girls to go swimming in that. Yuck.
