ooooh i love owls. whoooooo whooooooo! but the ones i have are all in the form of mini collectible sculptures.

i forgot to say in the islands we had tons of gorgeous butterflies - swallowtails were my favorites. and bat-moths! big ol' scary looking things but harmless. their larvae (big fuzzy caterpillars) were not so harmless ... not sure what plant they fed on but they would practically decimate it.

here, i have seen some really brilliant dragonflies when i used to run on the country roads - a gleaming scarlet one and a bright blue kind!
