Hand-carved anteater seal (2015)
Anteater installation.
Napping in the shade is not the privilege of some humans.
Let me show you their sharp claws used to forage for food in termite and ant mounds. They are not violent but if they feel cornered they will stand on their hind legs and tail, punching with their hard claws; with them they can kill their adversary whether animal or person. Cute little teddy bear …
Instalación del oso hormiguero.
Las siestas a la sombra no son solo privilegio de algunos seres humanos.
Lo que me permite mostraros sus afiladas garras que usa para buscar su comida en termiteros y hormigueros. No son violentos pero si se sienten acorralados se pondrán de pie sobre sus patas traseras y la cola, lanzando sus garras con fuerza; con ellas puede matar a su adversario sea animal o persona.

Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus)
Female swallowtails are dimorphic, meaning two distinct phenotypes (morphs) exist. In the dark morph, areas that are normally yellow are replaced with black or dark gray. The signature “tiger stripe” pattern can still be seen on the underside of some dark females. These butterflies live in deciduous broadleaf woods, forest edges, river valleys, parks, and suburbs of the eastern United States.
