As I was walking in the frozen forest, boots crunching through the snow, I began thinking about the bugs that are frozen, and sleeping. Bumble bees, katydids, praying mantis, grasshoppers.
Of course, then there are the butterflies, who have fled the cold! We have several butterflies who overwinter: the Compton's Tortoiseshell, top right, for example.
Jenn - you are not the only to post something spring-y this week … I think folks in the northern hemisphere are itching for winter to end! The next time I am out and about on our back forty I will be thinking about bugs! Thanks so much for this outstanding mosaic for Mosaic Monday!
