The Designer Gardens

i was taking out some old soil from a pot when i felt some of the soil move in my hands, and out came this fellow, one of my midwife toads, a baby still

these handsome creatures are leopards slugs, i dont often see them, this is the second one this year and they grow very large, i just looked it up, apparently anything up to 8 inches
the first one i saw in the spring was about 6 inches long, this one was more like 3 or 4in

two scarce swallowtails

a beautiful thread lacewing, we get many of them early on in the spring
