Rayetta's Butterflies - A Lull in the Action

Oh for Goddess sakes. I forgot to get Lleu Llaw a birthday present. Crumby, did you arrange anything for Lleu Llaw on his birthday.

Yepper Rayetta. He got the afternoon off and some watermelon.

That's nice. Poor Lleu Llaw. When shall the Goddess redeem him from servitude? Well, I shall go shopping tomorrow and find something special for Lleu Llaw. What might Lleu Llaw like present wise, do you surmise, Crumby?

Ahem. Lately, Lleu Llaw has shown a keen interest in grasshoppers, Rayetta. So I do surmise, or even ovate, that Lleu Llaw might like a grasshopper tome. Plus, if we had a grasshopper tome, we might put some names to all these voracious herbivores suddenly habitating at the CB.

Hmmm. OK, I shall find Lleu Llaw a grasshopper tome for his birthday. Let's see. Once Lleu gets to work on the grassoppers we shall be documenting the diurnal Lepidoptera, the Odonata of Suborder Anisoptera, the easy Coleoptera, Ray's conspicuous flies, mainly Asilidae, some miscellaneous Insectivora, and grasshoppers. Goodness! Lucky for me and my busy schedule we have a lull in the butterfly action. OK. Crumby did you know that we are up to 12 photographically verified Anisoptera species for the CB, plus another one that has evaded photographic verification?

Noper. Which one has evaded us?

Hmmm. Let's see. That one would be black saddlebags (Tramea lacerata). That one refuses to sit still.

Let's catch it and pose it, Rayetta.

No. We shall wait until it sits down somewhere, then we shall take its picture. Which reminds me Crumby, we need a new picture for the venue. Perhaps a generic happy insect picture. I know. Let's dig out a feeder picture and post that.

All righty then. How about this one, Cotinis nitida plus hackberry emperor plus some of Ray's conspicuous flies on a rotten banana?

All righty then.
