It's Lisa Lane, Everybody!

I'm just so dang proud of Lisa and now I get to show another cool thing from her.

This is a cool interview on a famous-er authors blog. (And I'm not just saying that because she happens to be sitting right behind me on my couch...)

Did you know it's weird to try to blog when you have company?

Clarification for Lisa

In response to the previous post I'm posting a pic for size reference.





Yes they WERE huge! That's my ring finger.

On another point, I didn't know that's what tomato hornworms turned into! I've always wondered as I pick the little buggers off of my vegetables...

Butterflies and Moths

For some reason I have really good luck when it comes to taking pictures of cool bugs. Check out the different kinds of butterfly and moth I've found in the past year. All of them have been in or near my house.








This caterpiller nest is actually from one of Kyle's field trips to Red Rock. These things were EVERYWHERE! It was the craziest thing. All these hundreds of caterpillars all wriggling around each other in a giant hairy ball.... I'm pretty sure that they are the caterpillar version of the moths pictured above. Not that I know what ANY of the above bugs are, but still. Pretty cool, huh?
