The Butt End of things….Volume 2

Ever wonder what things look like from behind, but too afraid to ask? Back in April I gave ya’ll a little sampling of some beautiful butts, and in the meantime I have been hard at work finding more:

The butt end of a thirsty katydid. I love these guys. Here’s what the front end looks like. All those gadget-like appendages in his mouth area are for the efficient defoliation of my Live Oaks and other sundry foliage.

 

A Six-lined Racerunner  is hanging out in my front garden. A beetle making his way over our porch. Too darned cute!

The butt end of Oliver, our resident Squirrel, letting us know exactly what he thinks about us letting the bird food run out.

 

The back side of a very cool wasp using the small holes in our wooden table on the back patio to raise some young. All evening long we would watch her clean out the hole, then lay her eggs and then bring tiny little caterpillars into the hole for the baby wasps to eat.After that, she would use mud to seal up the hole and it looked like it was never there. I thought it was very good carpentry work myself.Here’s another picture of it, hanging out with some bee buds at the local bee ‘dive’ getting buzzed. Must be girls night out…..

 

The butt end of a black swallowtail caterpillar feasting on what is left of my parsley and fennel. It really didn’t care too much for the grass though.The front end looks much the same…. 🙂

And the butt end of my friendly neighborhood Leopard frog, hanging out on our door threshold one late evening to find out what we’re up to inside.That does it for now. BUTT fear not, I am already hard at work finding more.

  1. I think the Leopard frog is the Rio Grande leopard frog. That’s mostly what I run into in these parts. I caught several last year at the local “mud hole” and had a few days of fun in the terrarium. They are in your pond, right?

  2. Well thank you very much. I appreciate the positive feedback. I must say I do have fun with the butts.
    The bees keep educating me! It’s an amazing being – a bee hive….

  3. Everything in this gallery is worthy of comment, but I’ll just do it right here … July 2012 is one spectacular month! The photos, the writing, it is all brilliantly magnificent!! I see a lot of awesome talent in this entire series. Boy, am I getting an education on bees!!
