  8. dragon fly wing
  9. slug

How did you do? I’d love to hear in the comments below.

I have many photos of the slug, the dragon fly and the avocado and will share them in future posts. I found the dragon fly dead on my rug but the slug was alive. I had no idea how fast slugs could move. It was pretty funny trying to get pictures of it!

Here is a photo of several of the items on this list.

What Is Your Guess? (The answer to the mystery has been added.)

Tell me about the photo I used for this week’s Wordless Wednesday.  What do you think it is?

On Friday I will put the answer here…..

 

Answer:  A few days ago I used half of a small jalapeno pepper from my garden.  It was dark green at the time.  A few days later, I noticed that the remainder of the pepper was turning red and there were tiny fruit flies on it.  I was surprised since it had never occurred to me that fruit flies would be attracted to something that was hot instead of sweet.  If you look closely at the original picture you will see that there are four fruit flies visible.  Two are dark, one is light and for the fourth only one wing is visible.
