The Missing Objet d'Art

A Quarantine Update
This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.

About Me
- Joe Willis
- I have been teaching since 1965 and have recently joined the English Department as an Associate Faculty member at Feather River College. Recently taught Nature Literature in America and am currently teaching Interpersonal Communication and Basic Reading and Writing.
They are chopping do trees all over the place in MA because of these beetles. I'm not sure if the one you pictured is the "Asian" variety but it is an invasive species here big time and they are trying to stop it from spreading.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn: It's an honor to have your comment appear on my blog. I have returned the favor on yours. I think the beetle I've pictured is the Spotted Pine Sawyer. It's a native, and I don't think it's causing harm except perhaps in some areas where its equilibrium with its host trees has already been disturbed by the usual human intrusions. I have an inordinate fondness for beetles.
