I take a picture every day at (or around) 8:00 a.m. My goal is to never have this picture be my bedroom ceiling. See more at http://deeat8am.com
I am a Broad-tipped Conehead Katydid
My fastigia ("cone") is wider than it is long
Based on season and sex I can be brown or green
I rub my wings together to make a calling song.

I am known as a Pine Warbler
My body changes based upon what I eat
If I eat seeds, my gizzard's large and I digest slower
If I eat fruit, my intestines are long and I digest quickly.

I am a Little Blue Heron
I sing but I'm not too good at it
I mostly just make harsh croaking noise
But I want to make music so I bought this drum kit.

This flower is known as Moonflower
Because it only blooms at night
In the afternoon
You won't see it's bloom
After dark it's visited by moths in flight.
