Heart of Life

In the southwest region of the U.S., Tent caterpillars are hatched in a web-like cocoon among the branches of an almond bush. When they emerge, it is a phenomonal site to witness. These caterpillars metamorphosis' into brown, fuzzy moths. The moths lay eggs in the spring, the caterpillars hatch in 7 weeks, the caterpillars seek shelter under rocks or ground material, transform in less than 2 weeks into a moth and the entire adult lifespan is less than a week, wherein they procreate, again. Interesting.

I saw this and thought it looked like a heart.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Nuzzle up closer and feel the pulsating life of a beautiful heart." tc
