Martha O'Kennon





Winter came in here with a vengeance, that is to say, with enough snow to have to call in a new plow company. We had some 8-10 inches of snow - no way for me to do that these days. Needless to say, I haven't seen a bug in a long time. So here we are in mid-December with very little in the ways of pictures. But - I have the impression that a lot of people didn't get to the end of the November 27 blog - if you didn't, you didn't see the collection of insects and spiders with captions that I hoped would give you a giggle or a guffaw. Now I have to warn you that there are a very few that you might not want your kids to see since they are a wee bit risqué. If you will write to me saying you only want (mokennon@albion.edu) saying you want to preview the three that I thought were possibly too much for your kids, I'll send you them separately in a letter called "for your perusal"

I hate to do this, but I don't know all of you well enough to take a chance on offending you. Personally I think the three are somewhat hilarious. Here's something I've been working on - I'm trying to assemble a group of pictures of arthropods that seem to be enacting human postures and emotions.

Anthropomorphisms in the Insect World

After this, you will be able to get to this page as well as to the CHEERUP SONG page from the 2016 menu.

Love, Martha
