What glorious views of that lovely ovenbird!

And those log cabin caddisfly larvae are the weirdest creatures I’ve seen lately. Are the stick-like formations part of their body or something added to disguise them?

[@ChromatophoneNature]

They build them out of debris and sticky silk for protection.
