On the 2nd of September I found a lovely mystery cocoon wrapped up in a serviceberry leaf. I posted pics in some of my FB groups hoping someone knew what would emerge. The best answer I got was "some kind of Geometer (inchworm moth)". Thursday, the 13th, a moth emerged from the cocoon: a beautiful, female, chain-dotted geometer. After a few photos I set her free.

@Insectra, thank you for your concern. it's not that i gave up anything; i just got a bit bored & disappointed at some people's intolerance, so i paused my account, & was subsequently stripped of the honour of bird woman. will be looking in to catch your beautiful posts occasionally though.
@Insectra, who better suited for the presidential seat of the bird world (or any critter world at all) than you! some patience with fools overstepping personal boundaries is good, but there comes a point where i just gotta spew back ...
Wow, I wouldn’t have had a clue. A baby Sasquatch!

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
