Brrr!

It was too cold for bugs today–it started flurrying while I was out on my bug walk–but I am stubborn and optimistic so I looked for them anyway, even though it was too cold for ME.

Here's what I found:

 Winter fireflies huddling together in a crevice

 Twice stabbed lady beetle. I have been wondering what these are eating lately, because I have seen quite a number of them, but I have only seen two aphids, which is what they eat.

The most interesting thing I found today was not insects, but something for Arachnid Appreciation:
