Ah, yes, we have had caterpillars of similar appearance and behavior here that hit a lot of hardwoods in our area after a very wet spring in 2010. Will have to look into this further. Thanks for sharing! |

Copper Lily
 In the places that are seeing some rain, these native lilies (Habranthus tubispathus) are popping up, even in the company of  St. Augustine grass.

Yeah, it's a crying shame that there isn't hardly any to be seen now in our withering landscape. Getting depressing....

So sorry to hear that. I know how it is to be depressed about lack of wildflowers. I'm hoping that they will come up again next year for you. They are adapted to that climate...so I'm hoping they will survive.

Nature put on a spectacular lightning show in our area tonight. We've missed most of the storms that have popped up in this vicinity, but tonight nature put on a spectacular light show right over our house.
