Like I wrote yesterday, I'll probably pester my followers with photos and stories of the Treehoppers over the next few weeks, but, I promise, I won't limit the blog to that topic. This morning I provoked the big mama a bit to see if she would fly. It was still too clodl for flight, but she was pretty good at trying to hide behind the twig as I approached. I chased her around the twig several times before I could get this shot. I assumed she was responding to my approach via the visual sense, but I'm not sure. I'm sure someone has written a dissertation on these bugs, but I enjoy finding things out for myself. Richard Feynman, the late physicist and Nobel laureate wrote a book titled "On the Pleasure of Finding Things Out" which I found very inspiring. As a school teacher, I have always honored curiosity, despite the number of cats that may have perished in its pursuit.
