Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. HABBB_190516_007.JPG: Bee Young queen bumblebees survive the winter by hibernating underground or in rotting woodpiles until spring, when they emerge to start a new colony of their own. To help bees survive, avoid spraying pesticides when plants are flowering and bees are foraging for nectar.
2. HABBB_190516_036.JPG: Eric Long from the Air and Space Museum
3. HABBB_190516_053.JPG: Dragonfly Many species of dragonflies spend the winter as nymphs in ponds and streams, emerging as adults in the spring. Help keep ponds and streams free from pollution to support dragonflies.
4. HABBB_190516_071.JPG: Praying Mantis Praying mantises lay their eggs in a protective casing called an ootheca, which they attach to sticks and stems. To help praying mantises survive the winter, leave stems up until spring.
5. HABBB_190516_084.JPG: Bug B&B
6. HABBB_190516_098.JPG: Butterfly Many butterflies spend the winter as caterpillars in rolled up leaves for protection. You can help provide a habitat for next year's butterflies by leaving areas of leaf litter in your garden.
7. HABBB_190516_109.JPG: Grasshopper Female grasshoppers help their young survive the winter by laying their eggs underground. Leaving fallow or untilled areas in your garden protects young grasshoppers from predators and harsh weather.

(1) Sheltering Branches
Outside the National Museum of African American History and Culture
Discover the story of the Southern live oak tree: an enduring symbol of safety, strength, and resilience.
