Books, bugs, and birds are constant parts of the blog. Gardening shows up a lot, so do books on gardening.

Shedding Skin
I saw this one the other night while I was on spider patrol. I say one because I *think* it was one insect molting.
Folks at bugguide.net identified it as a Crane fly.
I wish I'd stayed to see the remainder of the process, but I was running around looking at things and only watched for a little while.
I aspire to be the sort of person who watches insects molting and spiders weaving and admires the process. I also want to be the sort of person who is efficient and gets things done.
The two desires do not always harmonize.
Edit: More info on bugguide.net. Apparently, this really was two creatures mating. See pic and the answers here.
