Rainbow
Yeah for the rain! So far .68 inches and some pea sized hail at 6pm. We could do without the hail, eh.
Hagen’s Sphinx (Ceratomia hageni) has very good camouflage!
A close up of its hairs! Looks like a bristle brush doesn’t it. Its host plant is the Bois D’arc.
Remember the frozen spittlebug frothy spit? Not frozen here 😉
Here I exposed the little larva!
Closer view in the spit.
So colorful!
Really is a cute little thing!
Sachem on a Cottonwood leaf!
Well, it was cloudy all day except for a brief 10 minutes of sunshine! I thought it looked ripe for a rainbow, but alas I didn’t find the rainbow. No pot of gold today, but the rain was better than gold. 🙂
