Clydesdale horses in a row in the morning.

A morning's worth of harvest potatoes.

Rogue caterpillar munching on potato leaves.

The mysterious boat by Trim.

Emerging imported cabbage moth.

A fine delicacy of cabbage maggot.

Lettuce no more.

[astroporifera]

Final views of fields of Abbotsford, harvest cabbage, and lines of lacewing eggs; a diamondback caterpillar races to the pupal stage, to catch up with the looper. And of course, cockroaches in a lab.

A week in the fields of Delta and Abbotsford.

[astroporifera]

Lepidopteran eggs, pupa, and adults in vegetable fields; a surprise snakefly larva, and lumbering potato-like hemipteran; geese formations in the sky as clydesdales stand idly by; a frog in the cabbage, a well fed ladybird beetle, and a mysterious hole, perhaps built by aliens or hybrid strawberry robots.

Another week in the fields of Delta and Abbotsford.

[astroporifera]

Frogs wanted, dead or alive. Spiders waiting for lunch while others gorge on a Thursday morning in the dew on an island. Cabbages speak words of imported caterpillars. Horses in the mist and burning leaves.

Field work in the first week of August.

[astroporifera]

Aphid ridden cabbages, with lady beetle and syrphid saviours. A looper comes in to take its bite, a beetle takes flight.

Sunflowers in sun, blackberries in white light, and boxes of bees to box up the week on a Friday morning.

A week of field work on the farms.

[astroporifera]

Caterpillars, cows, cabbage;

spider with fried eggs, cabbage with aphids;

a potato plant you don’t want to shake hands with.

Photos from week 9 in the fields.

[astroporifera]

Giant grasshoppers, eggs of avians and lepidopterans, and fresh cabbage; a nice view in Abbotsford of Mt. Cheam, as well.

Photos from week 8 in the fields.
