When you're only 6cm tall but still absolutely convinced you're the main character. To be fair... they do tend to
present themselves well

This is a little green caterpillar with white vertical stripes crawling on a concrete sidewalk from the bottom of the photo. The sidewalk has flecks of blue, green, and gold in the gray concrete. There are a few brown pine needles that have fallen onto the sidewalk haphazardly around the caterpillar.
A bright green caterpillar for #GreenSat! I wonder what type of butterfly or moth it will become?

Penny the baby mantis hitchhiked in on a hydrangea bloom tonight. Snapped a quick portrait, returned the flower to the bouquet, then set Penny into the border to hunt. First mantis here in two summers and it feels like luck.

Summer isn’t official without cicada song. I watched Aiden the cicada split his nymph shell on the porch rail, then snapped him again a few hours later as a fresh green adult. 2–5 yrs underground, only weeks to fly and sing.

Meet Jay-bee, our first fledgling blue jay. He hoplanded in the mulch, all fluff and big feet, while Mom & Dad zip in with snacks and scold anyone who gets too close. Watching those tiny wings grow stronger by the hour is pure backyard magic.

Yesterday’s calla visitor gets a solo moment: a metallic green long-legged fly, garden bodyguard. It snaps up aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and its larvae munch mosquito wigglers in damp soil. Tiny jewel, mighty appetite.

Calla bloom pierced an allium seed head, a bright orange burst inside a second firework. A sesame seed sized long-legged fly (Dolichopodidae) gleams green at the core. Garden surprises like this keep me looking closer.

A resting fly. Flys also pollinate and however annoying are essential parts of the ecosystem (Lumix GH3 olympus 30mm f3.5)
