Porch Finds

For the last year or so I find myself fascinated by the amount of species I have found just by looking around my house. I live in an urban area however do have a naturalized area with wetlands and forest less than 2KM away but still. I rarely get to visit areas away from the city as I do not drive but this has not stopped me from enjoying the nature available to me. One does not need to go very far to find the beauty in nature but than to open our hearts to what's already there. Try taking a few days of leaving ones porch on and seeing what shows up or sit in your gardens and see what creatures show up. You'd be amazed at what you can really find if you take the time to look

One of my absolute favorite blog entries by @scottking delves into this as well:

It's a really good read. :)

thanks.... read the article and I agree and it's so sad that people have such a negative opinion of "BUGS" when they really are one of the most important animals on the planet.
