The Lone Ranger

I'm slightly worried that my caterpillar images are getting old... on the other hand, this is a lot for my benefit just to keep track of things.

This guy below is The Lone Ranger. He's the last standing luna that has yet to spin a cocoon and I believe he's also getting to be the biggest one at 2 1/2 in. fully stretched. Also day 40 for this guy.

cecropias sooooooo big! day 39
Day 28 for inch long dubernardi
silk worms are probably around an inch long too
So the other day i decided to separate all the cocoons but then realized that they made the most beautiful collage like compositions. So here's a sneak peak at a very large photo set that will probably be ready soon but would rather show people in person at fall art sale!


At work today I saw a Vietnamese beetle and it made me happy :)
I've been staring at bug labels all day but i realized how interesting some people's tiny handwriting is. More often the labels are typed though so that's not quite as exciting. Makes me wish I'd been photographing the labels as I see em. The ones below are labels for a butterfly I photographed for the museum a while ago.

I've also decided to photograph the inside of freezers for my 30 day photo book project! I like the idea of seeing what people like to preserve in their freezers. The Field Museum has a freezer filled with stuff that has nothing to do with food and mine contains mostly tupperwares of insects and things that need freezing haha. My girlfriend keeps books in her freezer to kill booklice so that's a really cool freezer lol. It's a somewhat serious project. I didn't want to take the project too seriously but didn't want it to be a joke either. I'd love to know what people think so any feedback would be great!
