bumblebutt <3

A bumblebee with its face smushed into a bright pinkish red rose. All you can see is its butt and rear legs

Shawna@mitsubishe· 26d

i knew it (for some reason it wouldn't let me post a clipped video so here's a gif of it instead, you'll have to imagine the nemesis screams)

Shawna@mitsubishe· 26d

somehow even her purrs feel threatening

Shawna@mitsubishe· 28d

i thought this was a dragonfly but apparently it's a "pleasing picture-winged antlion" so cool!!! i love these guys when they're little scary sand traps i had no idea they were such pretty bugs when they grow up <3

A pleasing picture-winged antlion on a wooden post. It has a long body like a dragon fly and its wings are mostly transparent like lace except for the tips which have a splash of pink and black, like you dipped them in paint.

Black swallowtail butterfly on leaf litter. It is a black butterfly with a shiny bright blue butt and tail. The butterfly is missing one of its tails but otherwise is in great shape.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 11

when you're watching the bear while making lunch

Basil chicken salad (it was supposed to look like a butt but it didn't come out), sungold and sweet 100 tomatoes, sliced cucumbers (suyo long and patio snacker) and crackers arranged kinda artfully on the plate

guard post has moved indoors due to the heat

Jezebel now lays across the foot of the bed and gazes out a window watching for squirrels and deer

garden guardian on duty, keeping the tomatoes safe from squirrels

Jezebel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog lays on a wooden deck and looks up at the camera. Her ears are perked up and she's alert for garden intruders.

we made a new friend this morning on our walk little sparrow (?) hopped along with us down the road for a good while until he just stopped and let us pass and then he went back sorry for the bad picture someone kept jerking the leash smh

Little brown bird with a small bit of orange on its head hopping along the side of a rural road. I want to say it's a sparrow of some kind, maybe a chipping sparrow but I'm terrible at bird id so don't take my word for it.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 10

squirrels found the tomatoes and ate every single red one and even got a few green ones too!! they've never bothered my tomatoes before what gives?? i put out water for them on the other side of the house since it was supposed to be hot and this is how they repay me

Half eaten green tomato on a weathered deck railing.

ridiculous animal

jezebel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog lays on the edge of the bed. She has her tongue sticking out and her eyes are half closed. She's about to fall asleep or she just woke up, she was like this when I walked into the top.

Close up of a swallowtail caterpillar on a dill stem. He's bright green with yellow and black spots.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 5

pov: you are sick and dinner is 5 minutes late

Jezebel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog stands over me and has her face in my face. She looks very concerned.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 4

all 5 are accounted for and munching away

A large swallowtail caterpillar bends backwards and up to grab the end of a dill leaf.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 4

only counted 4 chonky boys during my midday check and i was about to get worried until i found alphonso hanging off the side of the planter

A swallowtail caterpillar eating a dill flower at the end of a long stem. Hes so big he has bent the dill stem over and he now hangs all the way over the side halfway to the floor.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 3

lmao at this text from the neighbor (don't worry, i said yes please and i'll come grab them this evening when it's cooler)

Incoming text: "Could you please use any cucumbers and beans?"

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 3

i'm just fascinated by how they move around! something about the coordination of their legs really tickles my brain they are getting so big!!

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 3

Jezebel the heeler pittie chowchow mix dog sitting with two pieces of kibble balanced on her snout. She looks up at the camera with pleading eyes waiting for the okay to eat them.

happy friday from the chonky boys

A very squishy fat swallowtail caterpillar mucking on a dill leaf. Another chonky guy is visible on a background stem. Both are a vivid bright green with black stripes and yellow spots. Their underside is white and they have squishy white feet with a black spot on each.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 3

got up and ran outside to say good morning to the chonky boys and started filming just in time to catch a cater-poop lol gross but also fascinating? why is it that shape???

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 2

the "real feel" is 104 degrees fahrenheit but chonky boys gotta eat!

Chonky swallowtail caterpillar as seen from the front 1/4 view as it munches on a dill leaf starting at the very end. The back part of the caterpillar is horizontal while it's upper half and all 6 arms are bent upwards and reaching up to nibble from the very tip of the dill. The caterpillar itself is a brilliant neon green with black stripes and yellow spots.

Another chonky boy as seen from the rear. This one is twisting a little as it reaches up to grab the next bit of plant. Cute caterpillar butt is in focus and you can see the little white squishy feet on ots left side holding onto the stem.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 2

hell yeah it's tomato season

A white kitchen towel covered in a variety of tomatoes from both mine and the neighbors garden. The center is filled with a couple dozen bright orange sungold cherry tomatoes and around the edge are one large black krim, one zenzei, 2 super sioux and two Independence day tomatoes. I grew the sungolds and the super sioux, the rest are from the neighbor.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 2

i was going to tag you if you didn't see it lol here's a video of the only guy awake and eating rn the little chunky arms are killing me!!!

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 2

good morning from the chonky boy crew

A chonky swallowtail caterpillar eats a dill plant. The caterpillar looks squishy and soft, it's mostly green with yellow spots and black stripes and little white feet with black spots. It's actually pretty dang cute.

Shawna@mitsubishe· Jul 2

the 3rd batch came out the best but the dough wasn't quite right, it was just a little too dense. i'm not sure if i didn't knead it enough or if this is another case of my mom making one of grandma's recipes "healthier" by cutting the fat lol there will be more delicious experiments in the future!
