The Busy Butterfly

I was watching the butterfly while I was at the gazebo. It was hopping from one flower to the other. Butterflies feed on nectar from the flowers. They nourished themselves from pollen and rotting fruit as well as from the dissolved minerals in wet sand and soil. No wonder I saw them just walking on the dirt earlier.

From what I read, "butterflies sip water from damp patches for hydration and feed on nectar from flowers, from which they obtain sugars for energy as well as sodium and other minerals vital for reproduction."

They use their antennae to sense the air for wind and scents. The antennae are covered with sensory organs called sensillae. Did you know that a butterfly's sense of taste is 200 times better compared to humans? "Many butterflies use chemical signals, pheromones, and specialized scent scales." That's all for now folks! Thanka for stopping by.

Beautiful Butterfly

I love to have my coffee at the gazebo, listening to the birds chirping and just enjoying the early morning breeze. The birds were up on the trees and very noisy actually when I noticed this beautiful creature flying nearby.  When I go out, I always bring my camera if in case something might pop up just like this one.

I love watching the butterflies. They are so pretty. Have you seen butterflies in your yard lately? What color was it?

Beautiful and Deadly

I was watching the Deadly Dozen TV show which is Science and Nature Documentaries. I just watch it thru my Netflix account streaming via Wifi -Wii Console. Here's two of the tiny creatures that's describe as beautiful but dangerous. This is blue octopus and it has a blue ring on it showing beautifully when provoked! It's venom is powerful enough to kill humans. There is NO blue-ringed octopus anti venom available. This is a funnel web spider mainly found in Australia. It is very tiny and highly toxic which deliver so painful when they bite. It will strike repeatedly due to their aggression. Don't be deceive by this tiny and beautiful thing, it's venom is painful and if not treated can result to death.

Bed Bug Bites

Before, we live in a rented old house. It is big for both of us and maintaining the cleanliness was hard. We only prioritize to clean the bedroom, living room and kitchen. One day, I did my general cleaning in those unattended rooms. After doing so, I noticed that I have tiny red bites on my legs. I never really saw it until it was itchy. I was just worried about it and my friend started telling the symptoms of bed bug bites. I really can not tell what insect that bit me because I did not see it. I bought an ointment to ease the itchiness so; it helps a lot. According to my friend, I probably got it in the old upholstered love seats that we have in the patio area. It is very common for bed bugs to nest in chairs and love seats. She notices also that the bites look like a raised red bump or flat welt. The red mark is the allergic reaction to the anesthetic which contain in the bed bug's saliva that was inserted into my skin. The bites were like mosquito bites but, they last for longer periods. She may be right with these observations though.
