Time can seem endless, and yet pass so swiftly at the same time.
Some creatures’ lives are so short and yet so much changes during the time they live.
This is a caterpillar of the Drinker Moth, spotted in the garden in January:
It’s hard to believe that after some time passes it becomes this fluffy moth (photo taken in July a couple of years back).
As well as butterflies and moths, one of my favourite insects undergoes a dramatic transformation over time. Dragonflies spend a large proportion of their lives underwater (one or two years usually) and then when their time in that form is up, they emerge from the water and burst out of their larval shape. They blossom into the amazing, beautiful winged form I know and love, and spend the rest of their days in flight, bringing wonder to all who see them.
And just because this is my blog and I can do what I want… here’s my most favourite photo I’ve ever taken of a dragonfly 🙂
