While walking around the property last night, I notticed that one of my pecan trees was practically buzzing with blue wasps. Instead of fleeing for my life, I kicked the observe portion of my brain on and did some looking around.










There were some small catepillar creatures crawling around as well which are what I presume were eating the leaves, and were inturn being eaten by the wasps.

As little as a year ago I would have been wondering what spray I should be looking for to genocide the caterpillars... if I had even notticed them.

Now that the permaculture infection has taken hold, its really changed my outlook not only on the gardening stuff, but life in general. Hopefully its terminal.
 
Ever since I found this suit I've felt strange new needs. And a tiny ad:
