Meanwhile, two Carolina mantids, perhaps about to attack the tiny students in the background.

more than almos


 Milkweed bugs in all stages of development.

Cicada & grasshopper. An Aesop fable I never read?


everything comes from emanation

another field of inquiry - Montrose Harbor and the Magic Hedge
