    I love bugs, too – in photographs…

    (Okay, butterflies and mantises – mantii? – are welcome anytime. And I suppose I wouldn’t have so many lizards to watch around here without the cafeteria.)

      Lizards are cool! We don’t get lizards here. And in Kentucky MomIL’s dog eats them!

      Will do 🙂

      I really love getting out and hunting bugs, it’s just been busy enough that I couldn’t do much.
