This Okapi is absolutely beautiful. I can see how it's related to the giraffe! 🦒
It's rare and elusive and sweet!!
I was amazed they used Aphex music for this clip, that's so awesome!

Had these two REALLY cool orb weaver spiders near the garden yesterday. So cool & love the variation in color between the two. Haven't looked it up, but I bet one is male and the other female (the more orange one had an egg sac nearby)

On the opposite side of the sky from the golden sunset on Saturday was this rainbow! It wasn’t super bright, but it made me constantly flip back and forth between east and west. 😂

Caught a video of what I believe is *Leucospis affinis* using its ovipositor to lay eggs inside of a piece of wood. Look at this thing!

A great blue heron (I think). They show up every year, so I keep my eye out in August. So majestic!

Trees talk to each other underground using mushroom networks. They share food, send warnings, and help each other grow. Nature has its own secret internet—called the Wood Wide Web! #NatureIsCool #WoodWideWeb #FungiFacts #TreeTalk #EcoMagic #WhatILearnedToday

Oh, and the zebra swallowtail pids are also doing well, though OMFG they are so smol (compared to the monarchs and the BSTs. One of their parents egg bombed my paw paw tree saplings on the front porch, the beautiful, rotten, stinker. 🤣💚 #zebraswallowtail #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool

The boys are back in town! Look at all these beautiful paper wasp bois (this is an old hornet's nest; their actual nest is probably in the soffit). If I start posting pictures of me holding wasps, remember, don't be alarmed. These cuties are harmless. #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool

A new (to me) little moth in the backyard (that made itself all apparent on the garage door for a moment. A yellow-fringed dolichomia moth. That's a bit of a mouthful, so I'm just going to call her Steph. 😝 #becurious #natureiscool #getoutside

Do you know about or have the #milkweed that doesn't look, smell, or grow like a milkweed (other than the seed pods!)? It's not a monarch's favorite, but they absolutely can and will use it. Meet the #honeyvinemilkweed (Cynanchum laeve). 😅 #savethemonarchs #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool

A brief shower left some drops on the #Colocasia we have at the edge of the rain garden. I like big leaves and I can not lie, so you're getting photos of it.... 😜

We can't forget the magnificent air shrimps of the day time moth world, either, and we had both of our local species about all day; hummingbird clearwing and snowberry clearwing moths. 🤎♥️
