    After seeing that moth I don't see how anyone could be afraid of such beautiful creatures. Thanks for the link today Sue.

    Fabulous close ups of all the insects!

    I have had to chase Japanese beetles off my marigolds all summer, by dropping them into a jar of soapy water. Thankfully, they are not invading my roses.

    I have had such a problem with the bugs on my plants, before I realized it those tomato worms just about devoured my pepper plants.
    Thank you for hosting this week.
    Stay safe and have a great week!

    The only bug that freaks me out is cockroaches. You would like some of the bugs we have here, see if you can google a NZ Weta, they are cool.

    wonderful selection. what an abundance of wildlife in your garden. PS, Sue I wasn't able to comment on your blog for some time (and will encounter that problem again once back to my PC - some setting is messed up, can't figure out what).

    Love all except for yellow jackets and spiders, and they are plentiful on the TN River. We kill them with diligence. Who wants to walk into a web early in the morning, right?

    Your pictures are beautiful, but I don't like insects, bugs or all these critters. I only like those with a fur and which I can pet !
