Still Amazed

I looked back at my blogs from this time last year, and there were definitely more kinds of bugs around then...

Backyard Bug of the Day:

 I think this is a new species for me. It still amazes me that I occasionally find something I haven't seen before.

Random Bugs:

 How are your bug spotting skills?

 Mine are pretty good.

 Small milkweed bug nymph. I think.

It would appear that the white hickory tussock moth caterpillars have reached the next phase in their development; they are done eating, and are now marching around the backyard looking for a place to pupate - which is how they will spend the winter, under the leaf litter.

No spiders today, no arachnids to appreciate.
