Emeralds are precious stones used in jewelry. But there are other precious emeralds in this world. The emeralds in this post are the moths, dragonflies and damselflies, beetles and flies that glow green as do those emeralds in jewelry. Other than being insects, many of these emeralds have little in common other than their color.
Those are some of the gems of the natural world, there are a lot more. And some other gems of the natural world aren’t green, they may be ruby red, sapphire blue or yellow as the finest gold.
What a wonderful collection!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at all the green 'bugs' you found to photograph. And your photos are outstanding, as always. I was watching for the Luna Moth as soon as I started going through them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post and wonderful collection of green insects.
ReplyDeleteThe Luna moth is one of my favorites.
