Description: A green grass snake! Green grass snakes are one of my favorite snakes, because they're so gentle and cute. I used to love catching them when I was little... though I suspect the snakes didn't have quite as much fun as me. These little cuties live in the American state of Maine, where I grew up.
Description: A pretty thrush sitting on a branch, in a golden sunlit wood. The hermit thrush sings a beautiful song that sounds like a cross between a flute and windchimes, and is native to the place where I grew up - the American state of Maine. If you want to find one of these thrushes, you would have to go into the forest, where they rarely ever venture out from. Once in the forest, though, it's not hard to spot one... hopping around the leafy ground, or perching on low branches.
Description: The Mourning Cloak (also known as the Camberwell Beauty in Britain) is a large beautiful butterfly, with deep plum-purple wings, decorated with blue spots and cream-colored edges. In Maine, where I grew up, these elegant butterflies are very special to see. Not only are they rare, but seeing one is a delightful sign of spring, because they show up very early in the season. They are such a dark purple color that they usually appear almost black.
Description: A Cabbage White butterfly. This one is in flight, fluttering off to find a new flower to perch on. Cabbage White butterflies live all over many different parts of the world, and can be found most often in open areas with flowers. They're one of the most common butterflies in Maine, where I grew up, and I feel a very fond connection to them. They're often the first butterfly you see in the spring, fluttering through the yard happily, after a long cold winter.
Description: An American Giant Water Bug. Also known as "The Toe-Biter". Giant Water Bugs are huge awesome bugs that hunt and devour anything they can catch in the water. They're also called Toe-Biters because they're known to bite the toes of unsuspecting people who walk barefoot in freshwater pools or streams.
Description: A gray squirrel leaping! Or is it flying? Gray squirrels are very funny and cute, and VERY well-known everywhere in eastern North America. You can't step outside without bumping into a gray squirrel in New England, where I grew up. Running along power lines, bounding across yards, sitting on tree branches, hanging upside-down from people's bird-feeders before being chased away with shouts and fists shaken after them. I like gray squirrels, because they always seem to be in a jolly mood, and taking life at a relaxing worry-free pace. In the style of a watercolor painting.
Description: A wiggly monarch caterpillar and chrysalis. Monarch caterpillars are cute yellow, black, and white striped caterpillars. They transform into a beautiful green chrysalis that looks like a gemstone decorated with gold beads, and then they emerge as the well-known bright orange and black butterflies.
