As usual, camera in reach, I discovered two Gipsy Moth Larvae while doing some gardening work. Even though very beautiful, these creatures cause extensive damage in United States Forests. Originally from Europe, they can destroy entire forests by eating their leaves. Gipsy Moth Larvae can appear in massive quantities. Fortunately, there are a few ways available to eradicate them. Read more about it here:
If you encounter any creature like this, please record it and report it to local authorities.

Memorial Day offered a chance to visit the beautiful Heritage Museum and Gardens located in Sandwich, Massachusetts. This Cape Cod place, besides some very interesting indoor museums, features many colorful flowers attracting not only insects such as bumblebees but also a wide variety of photographers such as me.
Sticking my nose and camera deep into all kinds of bushes I was able to take some colorful photographs.
Please click on a photo to view in carousel format.
In the middle of all the exciting photographing I was even able to join a bumblebee on her trip. Later, looking at the photos I sometimes thought to really fly behind Miss Bumblebee learning something new about plants, pollens and proper flower landing procedures. Here are some bumblebee photos.
