Incorrect Forecast

I'm getting a late start, so let's just cut to the chase.
Backyard Amphibian of the Day:

This frog hopped into the bushes when I got closer than this, and I was extremely impressed–it got some serious air, I would guess almost two feet of height.

There are two very different kinds of predators for Backyard Co-Bugs of the Day today.

Backyard Co-Bug of the Day #1:

Damselfly

Backyard Co-Bug of the Day #2:

Juvenile praying mantis

It doesn't have wings yet, but it hopped impressively.

The forecast for today said it was going to rain all day, so I wasn't expecting to be able to do a bug walk. The rain didn't come until evening, though, so... Other Bugs:

Robber flies are abundant lately. Female. Note the ovipositor. She was rubbing that on the stem of the plant.

Leaf beetle

Brown hooded owlet moth caterpillar

I checked up on the black swallowtails:

Two of them were dead, possibly from some kind of fungus infection. I hope the others don't catch it. I removed these two from the plant.

I noticed that there were a couple of looper caterpillars on the plant, too. I can see three here.

I think the one on the left has just changed instars.

Three different looks.

Leaf-footed bug nymphs:

I think that white blob is a spider egg sac.

Milkweed tussock moth caterpillar

Tachinid fly

Stinkbug nymph

Cricket

Fly and leaf hopper

 Two different species of katydids on the side of the house.

I have seen several different species entering the tubes of this mason bee house. I think some of them are predators going in after the ones that live there.
