I fed this female box tortoise some raspberries at the beginning of the summer. Now, she follows me all over the garden, and visits me almost daily looking for handouts.

Her favorite foods are blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and the occasional earthworm (when I can find one).

Where I live, we used to have a TON of June bugs, usually in late May. I noticed just before the pandemic that there were fewer than years' past. The past two years we haven't had any. Same thing happened with fireflies around here, only 25 years later.
