#larva
Ok, there’s more to it… I confess. I took the larva home in my pocket. The bug is doing fine by the citrus trees wintering in the kitchen.
I disrupted the nature’s intention, but I’m part of nature. I wasn’t sure the larva could survive the upcoming consecutive freezing nights on the exposed boulder. 🥹💕🐞

A couple of years ago I created an art series in which I painted 1 color/day of something from nature I saw in/from my yard: trees, wildflowers, cacti, animals, birds, arthropods, reptiles & skies. Here’s my Tucson Color Journal ~ November.

20. A #Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) – also cute.
21. The #Devil's Backbone (2001) – quite good, but, how do I say it… not a lot of fun?
22. The Fly (1986) – I was really hoping she would birth a #larva.
23. The #Exorcist (1973) – it was well worth the watch at the very least for the #exorcism itself.

Since I've run into a few people who don't know what these are, this is one of the larval phases for the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), which are invasive and destructive. Feel free to squish these.

Anybody know what this little mulberry-loving wormy-looking guy is? Sorry the picture isn't better, it's just my phone. We found her in a bowl of mulberries & black raspberries & returned her to the vicinity of the mulberry tree.

This is the larva of the iconic seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata). It always makes me happy to see a ladybird other than the invasive Asian ladybird.

This is an adult bryony ladybird of which I showed the larva the other day. Many pictures on the web are over-saturated, in reality their colour is a muted orange.
