Oh yes, I was important to the royalty of Egypt, but I am a bit busy today and can’t stop to talk unless you want to join me in my rounds. Do you? I usually set out quite early in the morning, to survey my land and see that all is well. I don’t like garbage strewn about and things left to form a noxious haze. So, I clean up every day. It seems to me that cities could use a few of my brothers and sisters. I should talk to them about forming a contract with you.

Well, it was nice chatting with you. If you want to join me I have an extra bag you can use as I don’t think you are going to eat what you find.

I live in one of the most amazing places, Alaska. There are plenty of fish, which I love, especially salmon, and there is no shortage of places to make my den for the winter. I am not quite like you, I make a new den each winter and enjoy the most marvellous sleep. Would you like a tour of my favourite fishing place?

Yip, yip! Heya! Nice to see you out enjoying the sunny day. I am white during the winter, great camouflage you know, and when the summer comes I turn brown or grey. I love to scamper about and play in the snow and you may often see me with my mates running around.

Wow, are you following me? I bet I know what you are doing. When I am shedding, as I walk through the woods bits of my under fur get caught on branches and that is the softest, warmest hair imaginable. The hair left behind on twigs and branches is called Qiviut and is much sought after for knitting warm sweaters. Help yourself to any you find.

What fun! Diving under the sea, chasing fish, finding a nice ice floe to rest on—which I spend a lot of time doing. Would you like to join me? We can tell each other stories of the biggest fish we ever caught. I even have some fish left over from this morning's catch, which we can snack on.

I’m not blue, but you may be if you touch me. Tiny, I am so tiny, only about 2 to 1.8 inches (3-4.5 cm). I am a vibrant blue with black spots so I am not easy to miss. Yes, I am poisonous to the touch and that is bad news, but there is good news. If you want to have me in your life, it is simple, provide me a home, and feed me crickets and fruit flies.

The poison comes from the insects I eat out in the wild and those insects have been nibbling on poisonous plants, so if you don’t feed me those types of insects I will be safe to have as a friend. This might be the start of a never-blue friendship.

Darting here and there into the shade and now into the sun. This little salamander is quick, but you should have no trouble spotting it because it is bright purple. What a pretty little salamander. I don’t know if this salamander has time to stop and chat, as it seems very busy, looking for tasty snacks and running up trees.

Flitting from flower to flower in the soft summer morning sun is a delightful way to start the day. With my energy restored, I like to zoom around in the sun and then rest in the shade on a branch. Finding a small drop of water or a small area of wet mud is always something I am on the lookout for.

I see you admiring the design on my wings. When I get a glimpse of myself in a window, the pattern reminds me of those pretty lights that humans like to set off in the sky to celebrate.
