Finally, I got to go back to the park. The critters all welcomed me back--about twelve different types of animals came out to see me! Here are three more photos--I couldn't spend much time today. I promise I'll get back to sketching soon!
Beetles' inner wings are so fine--translucent--and hard to catch open, since they get retracted very quickly as soon as the insects land--but this one showed me not only its copper colored capes, but his golden striped waistcoat as well.
I've heard some crayfish say "I will be the best, most delectable meat" for predators. I wonder if this one ended his crawling days thinking he would reach his ideal.
It looks like Stripey the fly will help do a thorough job, if there is any meat left to wonder about.
When I was leaving to go home, I thought I saw a glint of light at the side of the path. It was a butterfly the size of my pinky fingernail.
Don't you love how God took time to form charming designs for His tiniest creatures? That's it, isn't it? They're His. The creatures don't decide to be anything; God simply makes them according to His pleasure.
