Hey folks,

I'm spending 10 days with my dad here in St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm finding some great stuff to take photos of. I'll just throw them in this thread as they come in.

Here's an N. rafflesiana that I bought from flytrapshop for my dad

I'll probably be going to the aquarium tomorrow. Expect some photos of sea critters.

Awesome stuff, Jason! :D I should really consider trying an N. rafflesiana.
 
Dude, you're like 30 miles from me!
 
Nice man :)
i need to get a raff already lol, your dad has taken a liking to your plants as well then thats great news man. my parents love my plants lol
 
it's swallowtail caterpillars. what plant were they on? pipevine,aristolichia?
Also, is that the actual size that came when you ordered from andy?
 
wow wow wow ... Your picture so cool, best quality. I like it.
 
Nice cat pose!
 
I really love the mushrooms and the painting you made. :p

I can imagine what you grandma's cat could be thinking...
"What the heck are you pointing at me?"

They're pipevine swallowtail eggs.

That raff has been here for about 2 and a half months. So it hasn't taken an exceptionally long time to reach that size.

At a first glance, I thought a dragonfly was caught in that Iridescent Spider Web pic.
