Thank you for the opportunity to crawl around in the leaf litter.

Welcome spring ephemerals.

A very chonky pale green caterpillar with aqua blue eye spots and an orange tail that curls downward. It is standing on a leaf on the mossy ground with a waterfall in the background.

When your snake mimic outfit ends up looking like a cartoon instead.

This funky friend is a Sphinx Moth caterpillar found by @scibugs.bsky.social today.

When you’re in Vermont, you’re never far from a general store and a great sandwich.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little."

‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.”

A photo of an orange and black monarch butterfly with its wings spread open, on the ground in the leaf litter. A closer look reveals the wingtip of a second monarch butterfly beneath it; this is a mating pair.

A photo of a mating pair of orange and black monarch butterflies, on the ground in the leaf litter. Both have their wings folded.

Came home today and saw a monarch on the ground, then quickly realized it was two monarchs making more monarchs. Btw, in pic1 you can see one easy way of telling males from females: males have a black spot on each hind wing, made of thickened specialized scales which produce pheromones. #Bugsky 🐙🌿
