Territorial Dispute

I was deep in the woods and came to a wetland where there were so many frogs hanging around.  I saw a green heron in the opposite side of the pool.  Walking through the high grass, I finally settled down next to the pool and waited and waited and waited.  Finally the Green Heron walked away from me and started squeaking and then up in the air another one flew and I was lucky enough to catch the shot.  I came back the next day and got a few more.  They are such photogenic birds.

Teenage Praying Mantises Posing for her Picture


This very morning in Valley Forge.   And the second one was in the field off of Ship Road in Malvern.  Oh they have such wonderful faces.

Ailanthus Webworm Moth on a Purple Headed Sneezeweed. Say that ten times real fast......


This garish little moth posed for me this morning in the rain in Valley Forge.  See those little water droplets on the petals of the Sneezeweed??  
And here he is turning his head and looking right at the camera!
