Bug-Friends and Salamander-Friend














Damselfly by the lake
Damselflies can be distinguished from dragonflies, most obviously because their wings are folded on top of their body when they are not flying.



















Well-camouflaged salamander-friend at a waterfall.















The majestic, awesomely-awestriking Luna moth. Luna moth larvae eat hickory and oak leaves, for a month of growth. They then cocoon as pupa for 2-3 weeks. It only lives for 1 week and never eats as an adult. Male and female Luna moths mate for four hours at night.
