It's that fun to say? Kind'a sounds like a Batman phrase. But believe me, they are not so fun.
See if you can tell what this is.
I'm talking about that green thing with black on the top.
Well, of course~it's a Leafroller loitering in my back yard!
I have a problem with loitering in my yard. Specifically under my oak trees.
Each spring these green caterpillar/worms spin a single string of web from the branches of my oak trees all the way to the ground. They sway about in the air because they are so light. YUK. (You know there are things about spring that aren't so pretty.)
The green Leafrollers/Leaftiers devour foliage and become a great delicacy for Mocking birds. Great. I just wish I wouldn't run into their little one-stringed web and get them on me.
If they aren't eaten by birds, they turn into little moths. Feast on, oh wing-ed fowls.
"What a wildly wonderful world, GOD! You made it all, with Wisdom at you side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations." Psalm 104:24
How did You ever think up all these different things? Father, may I respect the wonderfulness of Your variety.
