Today I saw these, they're Asian lady beetle larvae in later instars!🐞 I watched them eat some aphids for a bit before going on my way. I haven't stopped to notice them in previous years, and I'm glad I did this year.

Remember to observe your surroundings with an open mind and kindness.

I got to see this beautiful Eastern tent caterpillar yesterday! They build large web structures in which they pupate. Their web structures offer safety, and don't harm the host tree. Native to the US and often confused with the forest tent caterpillar or the spongy moth in their larval stages.

Today, my mom found this little creature outside. She brought it inside to keep it warm, and shared this picture before putting it back under some leaf litter (good call). All this just as I'm learning the difference between various larval stages!

Remember that we all have a home and an ideal life.

Many people are afraid of bugs, or generally dislike them. I would like to share with you examples of some beautiful and underrated insects. Every creature plays an important role in its ecosystem.

Remember to think critically. Why do you feel the way you do? Why might some feel differently?

Here's a picture of an earwig I found recently. She's nocturnal, and sleeping in her nest with her eggs. She will protect and nurture them until they're big enough to fend for themselves. These guys are one of my favorite insects :)

Remember to have compassion and patience for those around you.
