Insects have been catching my eye, lately. Here is a moth I found on a cosmos blossom in the garden. I have done extensive research, trying to figure out what kind of moth this is - but no luck. Anyone have a guess?
I came across this guy in Shell Ridge Open Space, and figure it's some sort of western grasshopper, but it has an inflated bladder - for making more sound?
In other news, I harvested some pumpkins. They are sitting next to my shoe bench in a corner of my bedroom. At least they are safe from raccoons and squirrels. I like growing pumpkins, but man, I don't know if it's this particular variety, but the stems HURT. I mean, a lot.
Will these last till October for carving? Or November, for cooking?
