Still Cookin’

We have family in town, staying in our apartment, that I’m entertaining. So this will be short and sweet. Spike’s still cookin’. He seems to have gotten a little darker. And the leaf is dying. Here’s his Saturday morning picture.

The Most Photographed Chrysalis Ever

Posted in Spike on August 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »

If you just tuned in today, read the previous post first.
The proverbially light bulb went off, so to speak, so i got my trusty Ott lite out and lit that sucker from underneath.  The result is some slightly better pictures.  To celebrate, I’m posting them all.

Yesterday morning when I got home from work, about 8 AM-ish, Spike had turned darker.  He was getting some blackish spots.  Apparantly about 7:59ish, my camera batteries decided to die.  So I didn’t get to take any pictures until yesterday evening.  He looks the same this morning, and I tried some more shots.  But it’s so [...]

Here’s Spike at 8 AM Tuesday morning, a full 24 hours after the last pictures.  He’s half chrysalis now.  He’s suspended by just those 2 silk strands.  They must be very strong.  Again, not the greatest pictures, but I didn’t want to move him to a better lighted spot.  I’d feel so awful if I [...]

Another Year Gone, and Spike

Posted in Everything Else, Spike, tagged , , , on August 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
