True stories of a small flock of remarkable individuals -- and other critters.

farsighted


A moth died on the window screen,


wings spread to shield her eggs.

Bright green pearls turned to red and
the cycle continued.
Immense energy

in a tiny package

on a big adventure.

    What a wonderful post! Great photos, have never seen a moth's eggs before, just a couple of butterflies' (monarch and swallowtail), which they lay spread out, so very interesting to see these all in a bunch.

    This post reminds me in a queer way of the movie, The Cave Of Forgotten Dreams, that I saw today. We are all tiny things on a big adventure!
