My teacher John Muir Laws says that nature journals get better when words and numbers are added to images so I decided that last image needed some more. I did a little more reading about the Hemp Dogbane plant and wrote down some of what I learned. I think the entry is now much better. Most importantly, I learned through the process! Adding the snowberry clearwing moth was fun as well. (Those who know my work know my fondness for insects.)

A detailed illustration of a plant labeled Hemp Dogbane shows green leaves, white flowers, and a yellow and black insect (a snowberry clearwing moth, hovering beside its host plant) accompanied by handwritten notes about the plant's characteristics and uses.
