Cool Maryland Walking Stick Insect - the largest insect in the USA.

We have large wild cherry tree which may well contain quite a few of these! This one found its way to ground level where we could see it.

Black Spotted Common Garter Snake (coloration varient) in need of some TLC! Tail had suffered damage in a narrow escape. Ended up under the rubber insulation footer of our garage door. Rescued using paper bag and carefully returned to a large pile of leaves in woods at bottom of our yard! Looked much happier there!

Crisp warm autumn night, an up-turned plastic bin to lean on, a steady hand and a 1.5x multiplier and much fiddling with camera settings in the dark! The selection includes

Selection of garden views and pictures from Milton and surrounding area.

Brønnøysund Fiord and selected pictures from Oslo - Trondheim - Brønnøysund, and VEga Island, from the EU Semantic Workshop Event, 2004.

4 page selections of bugs and butterflies from Western Maryland mountains and gardens of Eastern lowlands, including Meadow Frillary, Tiger Swallowtails (black and yellow), Red-spotted Purple Admiral, Skippers, and Cicadas. Giant wild thistles and wildflowers play hosts!

Spring visitor. They emerge twice a year, first time in mid-April, to breed. Endangered species due to pollution in environment. Unique to N.America and the Appalatian decidious forest region.

This one was rather exhausted and I nearly mistook it for a leaf on the lawn while mowing in the evening light. Moved it to near the woods behind our house to recover.
