We used to catch them at daycare and on my 6th birthday I caught 6 and felt like it was my first sign from the universe.
But really I tapped in to say although I love bugs last year I encountered the Spruce Beetle (pictured) and also the deepest fear. Beware their awful antennae.
Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they aren’t unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!
I just love bugs so much! They remind me that no matter how small my life my feel it’s still valuable. (I also wanted to share my first bug pics of the season since it’s warming up)
My boyfriend came across these illustrations looking through a book of french fairytales (adorable) and thought I’d like them and I DO! They’re by Virgina Frances Sterrett and so so so dreamy.
