    I saw some ants enslaving other live ants to their mound the other day out by my firepit.  Creepy and there was nothing I could do but watch.

    Also spotted some firefly larvae the other night walking to my car in the dark after fly fishing. I thought they were something else but just looked it up. If you look around they are constantly glowing. Had to be dark.and I guess close to water. Really wild stuff. We think we're so great.

    Ants are a trip.  I read in an Edward O. Wilson book that the total biomass of all social insects in the world- bees, wasps, ants, and termites  weighs more than the total mass of all other animals combined.  Something to think about there!

    One of my favorite things about visiting family back east- fireflies!

    hope to catch a pic once the cam is up and running. need batteries and just ordered a little solar panel from amazon for it.

    This looks like heaven to me!  Lots of green, clouds in the sky, beautiful docile animals, deciduous forest.  Perfect!

    Hard to tell from the photo, but that woodpecker is at least 2 ft. tall.
