The Buck-moth stops here.

This guy found his way to the lily to bask in the pollen. Actually, that is not what catepillars do we just placed him here so that we could get some great colors and show off his spikes. We gave him a piece of lettuce for his time and set him on his way after about an hour. Hopefully we will get a shot of him after he's undressed.

Lily White

This lily in the Costa Rican jungle is an example of how to get lucky with light. If it was a cloudy day or if the sun was in a different position this lily would not have appeared so magnificent. It literally stopped us in our tracks. Art Wolfe critiqued this picture and he said that he would have removed the smaller lily in the background to give this flower the attention it deserved. Art Wolfe is a master in composition so next time we will heed his advice.
