Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. September 9, 2012. Caterpillar wrangling. Over a cappuccino . These caterpillars aren’t from here. The deserts of Southeast Arizona are far away from New England. But their world consists of a few leaves in a Tupperware container. And though they have left their natural hosts behind, they seem satisfied with the honey locust and privet that I’ve collected for them. As the contrast grows between old and new it is tempting to try...

Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. September 9, 2012. In Arizona I was continually referred to as a “Zenner”. A rare beast who uses only his senses to track down caterpillars and other insects. Turning his back on modern technology – the beating sheet and sweep net. A Zenner – heightened awareness keyed in on piles of frass, clipped leaves, and recently damaged foliage. Thousands of relevant search images loaded and ready. A Zenn. An Evening Window →.

An exercise in vanity | Life on the Leaf Edge

Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. An exercise in vanity. June 25, 2012. Had she been some starlet once, seduced by Frank Sinatra, the original Ol’ Blue Eyes? But I think I may be moving beyond this now. Call it a personal challenge. Or a change in perspective. I’m tired of my modesty, or hiding my eyes. My eyes are beautiful. I mean they are bright freaking blue! Beat that. I will wear them with pride from now on. Wanna talk about them? Cut Flowers →.

Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. All posts by spjaffe@gmail.com. Asphalt Aliens: March of the Hellgrammites. May 15, 2013. It is unsettling to not understand a vision a glanced motion, which seems more likely hallucinatory than tangible. The thunder claps, the pavement shudders, and then, bits of the pavement begin to rise up and slump forward: Living asphalt, crawling with purpose on black and crusted legs. The march of the hellgrammites. September 9, 2012.

Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. June 29, 2012. June 25, 2012. Eupithecia species ‘Blue Vervain’. An expanse of white linoleum. Scattered across the surface are tiny black grains, like spilled pepper. Looming above is a vase of cut flowers taken from an early summer field: daisy fleabane, blue vervain, and a sprig of goldenrod. Each is home to one or more tiny uninvited caterpillars, dropping frass into untidy piles far below on my kitchen counter. June 9, 2012.

Life on the Leaf Edge. Nature, science, art and above all else, caterpillars. June 23, 2012. A piece that came out of “Whole”. Maybe just trying to tone down some of the more negative feelings. So Jogging. Running. Moving fast through a landscape. It has never really been my style. Missing out on possible discoveries, losing an opportunity to really know a place. Jogging seems to be catalyzing change. I am not about to give up my passions or even my intensity, but inserting something that lies wholly...
