Today’s photo features two different insects. The delicate white flowers in front of the butterfly are actually cypress flower gall midges (Taxodiomyia cupressi). Female midges lay their eggs on newly developing cypress needles, and their maggots feed and cause the needle to form a small, white, flower-like gall inside of which the maggot develops. I think these galls are quite lovely and see them on several of the young trees in my yard.

is the oldest known wetlands-dwelling angiosperm, however gymnosperms are another beast altogether. from North Carolina have recently been found to live to at least 2,624 years old, making it the fifth-oldest (non-clonal) . Both and occur in nutrient-poor wetlands, likely due to the “longevity under adversity” concept.

Happy Thanksgiving from the bald cypress that inspired my tapestry "Cathedral." Since I designed it from a photo I took many years ago, two small trees grew up at its base and I can only get the same view after they drop their leaves.
