March 2023: Bug's life

This is a photo of a Monarch butterfly I had raised and released into our backyard in August 2016.

Our grandson, Jackson, with a pair of friends.

This is my son Jason, who seems to find “his friend” every year.

Lucy cat intrigued by a pair of walking sticks.

Our granddaughter, Brenna, was enthralled by the butterflies and I have to think they are enthralled with her, too!

A garden spider making her lacy web.

I found this praying mantis hanging out in my cherry tomato plant this summer.

Up close with a praying mantis in Cambridge.

Found this praying mantis "hanging around" on the clothesline.
