Protect them always!

This is an amazing macro photo of a ladybug. I really like how the photographer captured the dew droplet on the body.

The Asian Hornet has mandibles that tear and rip apart prey, a sting that delivers neurotoxins that destroy flesh, and poison that signals other hornets to sting until the prey dies. I hope they stay in Asia. This is one tough hornet.

I took this photo at Huntsville State Park in Huntsville, Texas. This is the only time in my life I have seen a Luna Moth. It was definitely a Kodak moment.
