Been outside in garden so much lately I have met new bugs every day. This Corn Earworm Moth, who has an amazing fuzzy upper body, is supposedly nocturnal but have been out feeding on Sedum & Phlox. #gardening #bloomscrolling #ecosystem #BugSky #UrbsInHorto #Chicago #invertebrates #pollinators 🌱
A tawny moth with a fuzzy upper body and darker upper wings over pale whitish lower wings with dark veins feeds on pink Sedum blossoms.

A male Wilson's warbler (Cardellina pusilla) in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, on August 26, 2026. On his way south, is my guess. #nature #naturephotography #birds
A large, forking dead branch extends from lower right to upper left, with out-of-focus blades of grass behind. Perched on the branch is a mostly yellow bird, in profile with its tail to the left and its head to the right. In this image the brightest yellow is on the head, which has a black cap. The eye is dark. The beak is small and short, in this image looking mostly brown. The belly is a darker yellow than the head, and the back is darker still. On the wings and tail the yellow gives way to gray. The bird is in the shade, or the yellows would look brighter.

A golden ball, the risen sun, sits on the horizon between a steely blue ocean, and dirty amber sky and thick clouds. Three birds are flying in the distance just above the clouds.

A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, on August 14, 2026. #nature #naturephotography #birds
A red-tailed hawk, with the head to the upper left and the tail to the lower right. The hawk has its back mostly turned toward the camera, but is peering at the camera over its left shoulder. The back is mostly dark brown but the feathers show a complex mix of barring and, here and there, lighter colors. The head is brown, with a brown eye. The beak is mostly gray, and is strongly downcurved at the end. The hawk is sitting in a bare, very gnarly treetop, and its tail is mostly concealed by branches. The background for the image is the gray of a cloudy sky.

My uncle in North Carolina just sent me this picture of a Hickory Horned Devil, which is the large, striking caterpillar stage of the Regal Moth (Citheronia regalis). The largest caterpillar native to North America. They commonly grow between 5 to 6 inches long (12.5 to 15 cm). Absolutely gorgeous

These roots are significant because they obstruct and slow down hikers and dirt bikers - from there a dramatic and dangerous cliff just beyond. I read that these are Guardians in tree lore. Now I will bow when I pass by. 🙏🏻
