I went to Komodo in April, but completely neglect to blog about it. Here’s a consolation prize:

Green pit viper, Rinca Island

This little critter was hanging out in a tree on Rinca Island, one of the islands where Komodo dragons live. It sat directly above the best spot for taking a photo of a dragon that was lying nearby.

This wasp is one of several that live around my house. Sources say that they are essentially harmless and will only bite if provoked. Otherwise, they’re just trying to get through their day, like the rest of us.
