The great outdoors! Nature has so many amazing colours, so many transformations!

I feel privileged to have seen a dragonfly crawl out of a lake, pop out of its "water bug" exoskeleton, dry its wings in the sun, then soar to the sky to gobble at the nuisance mosquitoes that pain us all. Caterpillars, what a variety of adults they become! Moths, there is nothing drab about them, what an incredible variety of shapes and sizes, wonderful patterns, and amazing colours !!!!

When my camera and another life are about, I cannot help but become a "shutter bug"!

It has already been more than a decade that I have posted my insect finds on Bugguide.net
