“Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore…How full of trifles everything is!”
I’ve stitched together two quotes from poet Wallace Stevens, but I think they nest snugly together like mismatched socks lying side-by-side in a dresser drawer.
Speaking of snuggled trifles and worlds within worlds within worlds, Sue Wagoner sent me this photo from Illinois.
It's of an insect tucked away inside a Queen Anne's lace. Sue said, "it is very small, around 1/4 inch-- almost totally camouflaged, and only when I saw the photo could I appreciated the intricate pattern!!"
Indeed.
I have no idea what it might be. Does anyone know? Or will it remain a beautiful unknown trifle.
Thanks, Sue.

Hi Lyn,
Great quote - you can't have too many trifles.
Fascinating bug - one of the Heteroptera perhaps?
