Wednesday's Feast 10-05-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Wednesday.  I thought you might enjoy a feast tonight.  This zipper spider was spinning his web for a while and then he stopped, went back to where he had a snack stashed and began to feast.  It's the circle of life.  It's like the song that Mary Chaplin Carpenter sings about "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug".  Today, the spider seems to be the windshield.  The bug, well, he's the bug.  The thing about the spider is, he doesn't even have to hunt - the bugs come to him.  What he does is find some property, make a home, then wait.  I hate to wait, but, I'm told patience is a virtue.  Anyway, the point is, all life matters.  Everything/everyone has a purpose.

I hope you had a purposeful Wednesday.  Thanks for looking.  See you tomorrow.

This Is Bugging Me on Saturday 09-03-16

Hello and happy Saturday.  Want to know what's bugging me today?  This guy!  After the storm I was looking around the house, we fared very well, some limbs fell, and all the blooms were gone from my lantana bushes - which may be why one of the hummingbirds got in my face chattering this morning to clean and fill the feeder.  After I did that chore and put the feeder in place I was hanging out with my camera waiting for the bird to come back and rejoice.  While waiting, I looked at the poor lantana leaves and saw this insect or bug.  I have no clue what it is.  I searched the internet for a look a like and found one, but there was no information on it, just the photograph.  I even went to an insect identification website and still no luck.  If you know what it is, please let me know.  The head and eye look gelatinous.   I don't know if it flies, all it did was walk while I was watching.  Today was a great day, though.

I hope you had a great Saturday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
