No Going Back

If angels dare tread
Fallen, sent, or otherwise
There’s no going back

This California Root Borer Beetle wanted to hang out in the house with us, but I was afraid we would step on him. He was not happy about me putting him back outside. He said, “But the Angels get to stay!” He had a point.

Happy Solstice!

Green Eyed Lady. Lovely Lady.

Green Red Car

I have a “green” red sports car that really rocks. On the first full tank of gas, of mostly in-town driving, my MX-5 averaged 37.7 miles per gallon over 304.5 miles. I think that is a very respectable average MPG , but I thought I would get some reactions from a few of our local critters. Silver was unimpressed and couldn’t be bothered from his nap to say one way or the other what he thought about it. Surprisingly, however, the jumping spiders got very excited about it, as did a beetle.

Mouse over the critters to see what they had to say.

Wow! Green like my pedipalps?
Go Green!
Cool! I like green red things.
Talk to the paw!
Makes me want to jump!
