Awhile back, I showed you the life stages of the silkworm moth. I missed one stage, however, so here they are:
Silkworm moth eggs.
In case you are wondering, the female moth in the top photograph laid her eggs on a paper towel. The female in the bottom photograph laid on a cardboard egg carton.
To celebrate my new banner, I thought I’d bring you a ladybug from the archives.
This is the twelve-spotted lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata.
For more about lady beetles try:

Do you think the banner is too busy?
While many areas have been experiencing unusual cold snaps, we in Phoenix remain warm and sunny.
I think this katydid that we saw at the Desert Botanical Garden on Tuesday appreciates the warmth.
What do you think?
