Garden Finds


Black swallowtail larva

Yellow swallowtails
This turtle had a tracking device on it. I called the number and told the guy, "I've got a turtle with your name on it." I've always wanted to say that. Not really, but it would have been funny if I had...anyhow, I learned that this species is endangered. Turtles have age ring-like things on their underside and you can tell how old they are (this one's around 50!)

we have a big mamma turtle at my parents' house that comes every year to lay its eggs in the sand by our garage.
