So please never ever pick these up like I did BUT this guy was crossing a road and I didn't want him to get hit so I had to make a rescue maneuver, there's plenty of sassafras and willow if he's not ready to cocoon but at least he's safe here. Automeris Io

My mom was nice enough to let me stay with her to finish school and set up a room for me to use. She told me she set up a bookshelf for me to make it "cozy" and of course she hates TF out my dad so naturally she puts a book on the trail of tears in there to "remind you of your people"

This is tumbled from the great lakes. It is botryoidal chalcedony in chert. These are my favorite rocks to collect, and are very similar to quartz.
