  1. Monarch #Caterpillar

    I actually started this a couple of months ago, but then stalled out on the flower buds, feeling both bored and intimidated by them.
    finally got inspired to finish during this recent drawing hyperfocus.

  2. I can't help thinking that all these coincidences can't just be coincidence.

    For example, this morning Steven was watching a video which featured Norah Jones singing Pink Pony Club, which he's never heard of before in his life. He came downstairs and checked his Mastodon feed, and someone is sharing a performance of Pink Pony Club as the first post he sees. Coincidence?

    There was a tiny little caterpillar crawling across my placemat as I'm about to have lunch. I carefully take him outside to put him on the ground and find his twin on our step. I have never seen this particular kind of caterpillar before. And I don't see any others now. Coincidence?

    Too weird.

  4. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO’s great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil i...

  5. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO's great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil in the foreground: a battered Caterpillar 385B from Oudtzwanenburg's demolition crew, parked on a churned slab of rubble and looking entirely unbothered by the architecture behind it. Fifteen years on, and the island is all glass and […]

  6. Melloona – where things grow a little differently

    • ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]

  7. Going through phone snaps from November's biodiversity survey in Bajaritas Canyon in Mexico. There were lots of really cool caterpillars. I have no idea what kind of butterfly this turns into.

    ✧ Euthrix potatoria ✧

    Euthrix potatoria, commonly known as the drinker, is an orange-brown moth in the family Lasiocampidae. The species' common and scientific names derive from the larva's supposed drinking of drops of dew. It is found in Europe, most frequently found in marshy places, fens and riversides but may also be seen in drier, grassy ter...

  10. Spotted this VERY early (< 0.5cm) monarch #butterfly #caterpillar and the evidence of its feeding on a weedy milkweed by my building's loading dock

  11. I like #brassicas. And grow a few in my garden. Of course, nature being what it is, there are others who like brassicas, and #cabbage too. One is the large white cabbage #butterfly. She lays her eggs in groups, and the resulting #caterpillars go on a feeding frenzy, demolishing occasional plants, but if we like to see these butterflies, an odd sacrificial plant is needed. To me this isn't food waste, but part of the natural World.

  12. @PetraOleum Caterpillar for the win!

    I just popped out and had a look. Hungry caterpillar has no time for games. Hungry caterpillar eats right across it's old mine and keeps on feeding.

  13. Here's a little caterpillar of the NZ endemic moth species, Zapyrastra calliphana, mining it's way through a leaf of the NZ native plant, Muehlenbeckia australis.

    This native caterpillar only eats this kind of native plant. Each caterpillar completes its larval life inside just one leaf, before dropping to the ground to pupate.

    I found this in my garden on Friday as part of the City Nature Challenge (#CNC2023).
