Claira Found Caterpillar
Claira found a caterpillar walking across the trail. She didn't want to pick it up in her hand, but she was okay with using a stick.
Species: Pyrrharctia isabella (banded woollybear)

Orb Weaver On Web

Species: Araneus diadematus (cross orbweaver, orb-weaver)

I was really hoping I could do something with the water striders but it didn't work out.

Nara Placing House Fly Larvae
This took my aback when I saw it. This the forensics lab at SFU - through brough house fly larvae and you can put the larva in water soluble paint and then put them on a small card to make art. The kids pick up the larvae again and again, dipping them in different paint colours.
Because the kids don't have experience with larva, they think it's fine to use them for art.

Cabbage White Feeding On Flower
I'm still learning to take photos of butterflies - I always figured these white things were moths but I was wrong. These two were very active (chasing each other it seemed) and were very particular about which flowers they fed on.

Species: Pieris rapae (Cabbage White)

Cabbage White Flying In
I like that you can see the rolled up proboscis on the upper butterfly.

Long Legged Anabrus
From the long spike on his tail, I thought this was a invasive katydid like a Drumming Katydid. I was correct on the Katydid, but wrong on the species and story. This thing is native.

Tree Nymph Eating From Flower
I don't add species to animals that are in captivity. While this particular species was flying around outside the zoo, I believe this picture was taken from inside their butterfly exhibit.

Dragonfly With Nymph Skin
This isn't the dragonfly that just crawled out of the pond - the dragonflies liked this perch and regularly pushed each other off of it. I'm not even sure that is the skin of a dasher - there are other species of dragonflies in this pond.
Species: Pachydiplax longipennis (Blue Dasher)

Blue Dasher On Rolled Up Pond Lilly

Anise Swallowtail On Walkway
There were two of these Swallowtail and the painted lady at the top of the mountain and they were strongly interacting.

Banded Alder Borer On Log
I was really surprised to see this bug - I have never seen anything like it in Canada before. I've seen Macro/bug blogs online, mostly in tropical countries and I thought they have all the interesting insects. We aren't so bad.
