Welcome to my blog!

This blog started out as an assignment for a digital photography class I was taking and I have decided to keep using it as a photo journal of sorts. All pictures were taken by me unless otherwise noted and range in subject from nature photography to just about anything that catches my eye. Topics may include wildlife, ecology, environmental science, natural history, conservation, botany, landscapes, Vermont, or whatever is of interest to me. I will add links to others related sites as I find them. Thanks for looking and feel free to comment!

Giant Ichneumon



Megarhyssa atrata:
Although not noticeable in this picture, this wasp has a tail that is up to 14 cm. long. This tail is actually an ovipositor that it uses to bore up to 14 cm. deep into hardwood trees where it deposits its eggs into the larvae of other insects.
