She is such a beauty, like she is wearing a ball gown. I am really wanting to illustrate a little book of your bugs. There is one I love and keep nearby called Good Bugs for Your Garden by Allison Mia Starcher. Have I told you that I had to take a course on insects and that i dreaded it. In the end I liked it best of all the courses in the ornamental Hort. program. I was hooked the first time i saw a lacewing magnified. There is such beauty in the tiny world. It is quite an eye opener. I tried to collect only dead bugs by the way and it was sufficient to get me through the course. i will buy a better macro lens as soon as I can afford the $800 lens, but may never do as well as you even with that . There is an ability you have which must be the in the way your eye sees and appreciates and in the respect with which you approach other creatures. i try topractice this respect as well although I always annoy black phoebes.
