Nature!

There is such beauty to be found in nature. As we have entered a new part of the world from what we are accustomed to, we have had the opportunity to see new things. It isn't uncommon to meet at least one of these along our path as we are traveling to our various destinations.



Armadillo



Firefly or glow worm. We see these in the tall grass and near the trees at dusk.



Opossum




We see turtles on the side of the road a lot!


Luna moth and they are rare because they only live about one to two weeks as an adult. They are about 3 to 4 inches wide and 4 to 6 inches long. This one was the first actually documentation of a Luna month in Henderson County, TN.

Don't you love the bugs (and other wild life) you get to deal with! Are there cicadia around? They are evil relatives of grasshoppers and sound like helicopters :)
