The Palo Verde beetle aka Dragon Lady emerges from underground just before the monsoon rains begin. An awesome and frightening sight, it is rather harmless despite its size. Once it emerges, it eats nothing and drinks nothing, but only searches for love. Having mated, it lays eggs beneath trees and bushes and while the grubs feed on the roots, the beetles become a tasty treat for scavengers.

My parrot watches cartoons on PBS in the morning, and Bird videos before bed. He also enjoys movies with good music like “Strictly Ballroom”. If I have to go out for a while, I put on a music channel from PBS. He loves Opera and Operetta, but any classical music will keep him calm yet amused. Even tries to whistle and “Amazon strut” along if he’s so inclined. Nuttier than squirrel poop sometimes, but he’s great fun.
