This somewhat portly matron used to hang out around the edge of our fish pond,under a rock ledge by the waterfall, but I haven't seen her for about three months now...she was about three inches in diameter (including the legs) when this picture was taken...and no, I didn't actually measure!

Eat my Tomatos, will you?

Posted By Tim Chandler

From a bit earlier this year, when I found this Tomato Hornworm chowing down on my tomatos, I let him be as he wasn't long for this world - the parasitic wasps had already laid their eggs on him!

Eyed Elater click beetle

Posted By Tim Chandler

This guy was moving along and didn't want his picture taken, I only got to take 4 quick photos and this was the best. A beautiful big beetle, about 2" long.
