Lazy day log * Picture Heavy* (I always wanted to say that)

Hummingbird moth

7:00: Got out of my loft bed, couldn’t sleep, (My allergies were bad this morning) stubbed  my toe on a book shelf. (I am going to do this allot) Ate biscuit’s and gravy for Breakfast, let Kahn out back. (By this time it was 7:30ish) I heard Kahn barking at something. Normally, I wouldn’t do anything but his barking sounded different than usual. I stepped out back to see what he had found. As I approached, I saw he was very exited about something. It was a ground-hog. It was a full-sized adult and it didn’t want to play with Kahn. Once I got the dog inside I came back out to watch this spectacle. Have you ever watched a groundhog try to climb a fence? It’s funny. Very funny. (so is the movie below, funny, as in the snapshot from the movie, Groundhog day.) Needless to say it wasn’t going well for the groundhog. So I chased it around the yard a bit and eventually it climbed under our fence into the neighbor’s yard. (which is also fenced in) It started running, or waddling, through our neighbors yard strait for their wooden fence, and then. It squeezed under their fence like it was nothing! It didn’t even slow down, just kept right on going! by now it was 8:00

12:00: ate lunch, and went out front to sit and watch the butterflies on our butterfly bush. You should see them. It’s amazing being able to just sit

Like thisand watch them fly around, I’ll try putting some pictures up here so bear with me. The butterfly bushes are great for attracting butterflies, it is important what color you get because the white kind attract just monarchs while the purple ones attract all kinds.

Here goes the pictures

Wow, that turned out very nice, this particular butterfly is what you call a swallowtail butterfly; It’s called that because the color’s, stripes, and the swallow  like tail. let’s try another.

That is a black swallowtail butterfly, it’s been though quite a bit as you can see.

Two Eastern Tiger Swallowtails right next to each other.

This weird thing is a Hummingbird moth, I suppose it looks like a hummingbird, I would have called it a lobster moth but apparently that name already taken. Why would you call it a lobster moth? I hear you ask, and the reason is,

it looks like a lobster. If you right-click on the picture and open it in a new tab you can really see it better. Well , that’s my day, nothing happened and yet it was interesting.

Until next time, Bye!
