Wordless Wednesday or What Gustav's winds blew in!




Isn't it pretty it is a Amorpha juglandis, aren't you impressed? He stayed all day on Saturday, the winds were very high due to Gustav (we didn't get any rain just high winds) and so he stayed on our wall underneath a shelf on the patio area. We learned that as adults do not eat it is only the larvae that feeds on walnut, hickory, alder, beech, hazelnut and hop-hornbeam (whatever that is) none of these trees do we have in our yard. So happy Wordless-Nature Loving Wednesday!

Very cool.

And I had to learn to identify hop-hornbeam years ago in dendrology class -- talk about a blast from the past! It's more common in the eastern US.

How neat to discover new creatures--and especially to be able to identify them!
