Steve, that is an awesome insect! I need to really get out and investigate my area and see if my woods are sheltering these marvelous little guys/gals!

Yes, it's truly amazing all of the insects that balance each other in an ecosystem!

Common morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea, probably the most beautiful flower in the food forest last year.

The difference between a weak peach seedling and a well adapted peach seedling, both about 7 months old last October. Sometimes a seedling just isn't adapted to the area. Thankfully this was the only one that was a lot weaker than the others.
