Lovely!—the zine, the thoughts in the zine, the coltsfoot emerging, and your thoughts and intention in posting. Thank you!
Your post made me think of insects I've seen and photographed in the past. Here are links to a couple of my past photos that are old enough I don't think you'll have seen them previously—one starring a beautiful insect, and one with a striking-looking insect in a beautiful flower. These are posted over on LiveJournal, which is now served from Russia, so expect slower-than-usual response times:
Green Bee (Taken 08/24/11. Heavily cropped, background slightly retouched. Possibly female Agapostemon texanus. If I recall correctly, she was about half to two-thirds the size of a honeybee. The flower is an unidentified weed—it looks very similar to a dandelion, but it may well have been something else.)
Spotted Cucumber Beetle on Strawflower (Taken 11/03/13. Heavily cropped. I believe this beetle to be Diabrotica undecimpunctata. The strawflower is a garden cultivar of Xerochrysum bracteatum.)
