Just wonderful. I know it's hard work, taking these and posting so many. But isn't it wonderful when you can enjoy your work?

I look up lacewings--they looked like mosquitoes to me. Found out they are actually used for "pest" control. They (especially their larva) eat insects that harm a plant. You may have known that, already, but I didn't :)

And those 'shield' bugs...when I was a kid we used to call them stink bugs.

I'm glad you ended the piece with a wide shot of the plant. After all those pictures, it's startling to realize the amount of life the plant supports.
