Since taking this picture, I was able to complete Metamorpho with a lucky inexpensive score for Classic Detective Batman (also able to complete the Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman trinity with that), and I was able to get Validus’ left leg cheap on eBay. Trying to spread out completing the other two, but all this staying at home …

Why Is Bedtime So Difficult?
You know I love you both equally Cheer Bear and Gloworm, but I only have room for one in my bunk.
Luna Moth (Actias luna)
I’m on a bit of a moth kick. Hey, I work with what I have. While trying to identify another moth I found, I recognized a moth I took a picture of over a decade ago. This moth really stood out to me at the time. It looked alien to me at the time, and …
Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus)
This moth was outside our front door one morning, up in the alcove. Then a couple weeks later it was on our doorstep for the day. I assumed it was dead since it was on the ground, but poking it gently with a stick told me otherwise. It was gone once evening set in. I …
Wasp’s Nest
I was trimming an oak tree in our back yard. And, when I say trimming, I was up in the tree cutting out the overgrowth. I spotted this wasp’s nest, but luckily didn’t see any wasps near it. I cut the branch down as it had to come out anyway. Once on the ground, I …

Catching Critters with My Bare Hands
I was at the beach over the weekend, and walking in about waist high water. I felt something kind of slimy under my foot. I jumped at first, but then went back to see what it was, since it was kind of big. I felt around with my foot until I found it, jumping again. …
NECA Halloween Ultimate Michael Myers
This is the first action figure my wife actually said “wow, this is really cool” upon seeing. It is an awesome figure. It has a good amount of accessories, and the light up pumpkin (not pictured) is a nice touch.
Brown Anole Bares Teeth
I caught this anole in the back yard. It (understandably) wanted to bite me. So, I decided to get a picture of it baring its teeth.
Green Anole Gets Some Food
I saw this dragonfly hanging out on our porch about a year ago. I thought it was weird that he didn’t really seem to mind that I was there. I would normally expect a dragonfly to fly off if I got as close as I did. He did fly away once or twice, but came …
