Heads Up

 I didn't do a bug walk today because it was the kind of windy that makes you feel uneasy about being near trees, and my backyard is full of trees. I did bring my camera out because of a butterfly that made a promise it did not keep, but the creaking and swaying of tree branches unnerved me, so I only have pictures of insects that were on or near the front walk.

The feats of strength displayed by ants are legendary, but what made this particular exhibition most extraordinary is that the worm it wrangled was not dead, and was not going along willingly:



Bees on dandelion
