Puffy

Here's how I am going to do things until spring: On days that look propitious for finding bugs, I will go out and look for them, but I am only going to post if I find something interesting, different, or unexpected. I am not going to post the same bugs I have been seeing every day.

Having said that...

Backyard Fungus of the Day:

 This puffball is about 6 inches across.

 And when stepped on, this is what happens.

 You can't tell as well from the pictures, but that cloud of spores was green in person.

 As for insects...

Caterpillars are STILL eating my Brussels sprouts!
