Things are happening in my life right now that just aren't compatible with bug-hunting, or bug blogging. I expect these conditions and other pending predicaments to be in effect for the next couple of weeks or so.

Even so, as I was leaving the hospital today after visiting my mom, my eyes strayed to a small beetle resting on the parking structure stairway handrail. It's in my blood, you see. I will always come back to the bugs.
