Winter Wonders 2023
Research
Research
I discovered this caterpillar and had to find out more...
My research determined it is a Sweetheart Underwing Moth caterpillar. Not only does it have camouflage as a defense, it also puts on quite a show when touched! Needless to say, getting it safely to the tree was not easy.
The adult moth uses camouflage as a defense too, and then when needed, the moth can open its wings to show off RED to trick a predator (red means poison).
Observe
Observation has been my 2024 mode. Noticing, wondering, and researching often follow. Here is just one of the gems of the year so far...
Travel
Travel
My suitcases went to both Mexico and New Mexico in 2019 for research and relaxation.
2020 had less travel...
...and more time to research in other ways!
2021 has been a year of research and writing about... Mount Everest, The mighty Mississippi River, and more! Yes, there are a lot of Ms here!
