It’s very cold and bugs are scarce. So how about an eastern Tiger Swallowtail from the summer for #InverteFest?

It’s going to be warm on Monday, hopefully I can find some #Invertebrates then

I conclude this year's #Mothmas with this lovely photo of two Southern Pink-striped Oakworm Moths ( Anisota pellucida ) mating. These are very common moths here in South Georgia and their caterpillars greatly enjoy nomming on my Water Oak tree 😁

We never thought we’d get to see them living in their own home. But on a recent trip to Kruger Park, South Africa, we were fortunate to see a scene I’ll never forget.
The Matriarch appeared out of the bush and slowly led her small elephant herd across the river.

Groove-billed Anis are one of my favorite #birds to photograph. So much character in their faces. #Belize
