I'll make this a short post because my eyes are tired. I have a couple of insects to show you and then I'll turn this over to Charlie.
This black swallowtail butterfly has the coloring of a female.
A spotted lanternfly landed on my window screen. This is an undesirable insect, a non-native that spreads rapidly and damages grapevines. We’re seeing large numbers of these this year.
I think my eyes are irritated by haze that’s in the air, a remnant of wildfire smoke from Canada. I should probably go put in some eye drops. Let’s hear from Charlie.
Hi, that cartoon dog looks a lot like me! Did you know that I just had a freedom anniversary? On August 8, 2022, I was rescued from a big noisy place where thousands of beagles were kept in cages. A bunch of us went to Charlottesville SPCA, and a month later I was adopted by my mom.
Here I am at the condo. We brought Lynn some lunch. She was painting a cabinet..
Lynn is my big sister. I have another sister named Marie. I used to have some puppy brothers and sisters, but I have not seen them since I was adopted.
I think Mom told you about going to the sunflower maze. Here I am leading the way.
Here I’m on our deck eating dogwood leaves. Mom does not think I should eat leaves and grass, but I had a tummy ache. She called the vet and got some more medicine for me. I’m starting to feel better.
I hope you’re feeling okay. That’s my news for today.
Thank 😊 you for sharing these photos of the insects and I love ❤️ Beagles. Put some artificial tear 😢 eye drops in your eyes, hope that helps. Yes, I have had the same reaction to the smoke from the wildfires 🔥
ReplyDeleteLovely butterfly and a coincidence is that I found one of those lanternflys on our screen today. They are such a pretty moth, it’s too bad they can be so destructive. Hope your eyes feel better by now. That’s a good account of your day Charlie. Happy freedom anniversary from that awful place.
ReplyDeleteHello Charlie,
ReplyDeleteYou had some fun outings. I am glad you were rescued from that awful place and now you have Lynn for your big sister. Pretty butterfly. Cute Charlie photos! We have been told to kill those moths if we see them. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critters and post. Take care, have a great week ahead. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
...lanternfly is DEADLY!

ReplyDeleteDear Charlie, Mum and I are so happy that you were rescued from that horrific place. Congrats on your anniversary !

ReplyDeleteHope you are both feeling better.I'm using eye drops too because of the fires near where I live and they give me sore eyes. You do look like the cartoon dog Charlie it looks happy, just like you., thanks to your Mom who adopted you and cares for you. You are both happy to have found each other.

Spotted Lanternfly is gorgeous, but like many superficially gorgeous entities it can be destructive.
