Eyes



Do you know what this is?
I learned today;  it is an Eyed Elater.
A clicking beetle.  It will also 'snap' upright if it is turned on his back-pretty impressive!
I bet you would jump if it popped at you, too!  I certainly did!

  8. We have smaller varieties of these beetles. We always called them click beetles, and as a kid, I delighted in turning them over to watch them right themselves. If you're brave enough, you can also gently hold their body, and they'll click..

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
