I must look for them. I have witnessed some wonderful moments with moths and butterflies...splendid creatures!<br /> <br />I never have ran or panicked when bees land on me...as others make me laugh when they run LOL Bees and wasps often land on my shoulders or nose I am oddly honored by this. <br /><br />The name Pollinatrix is a cool one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591166782373724315.post-12281039042481110432009-10-12T15:25:50.538-06:002009-10-12T15:25:50.538-06:00Yes, I believe it does make you the Worminator. I...Yes, I believe it does make you the Worminator. I don't think it quite has the same ring to it as Pollinatrix, though.<br /><br />Magical is a wonderful word, one of my favorites. Even though it's overused, it still has the effect it should. Maybe it's just the way it sounds. Anyway, that's a great compliment - thank you.<br /><br />The goofy euphoria really seems to be something particular to the hawk moths. I can't explain it, but watching them, just, I don't know - tickles - or something.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591166782373724315.post-53808436668013530362009-10-12T13:05:15.913-06:002009-10-12T13:05:15.913-06:00Have I mentioned just how much I've come to lo...Have I mentioned just how much I've come to love this little corner of the blogsphere you've created? You, your special seat in front of the statue of St. Clare, the sunsets, the smell of baking pumpkin, with special guest stars, the hummingbirds and honeybees? It's...well, "magical" is a trite word, but it just about fits here. This is another engaging read. I think I know a little of the "goofy euphoria" of watching animals doing the marvelous things they do best. Thank you for scribbling about it. <br /><br />P.S. I habitually (for years now) pick up earthworms from hot sidewalks or puddles and deposit them back on loose dirt. Does that make me the "Worminator?"A.T.
