The Early Bird Can Keep the Worm

Contrary to expectation, I was able to do a bug walk today. I got home before dark (though it was pretty dark all day) and it wasn't raining, so... here I am. But I am really tired, and want to go to bed early, so here's today's bugs without any further ruminations, in the order that I took them.

 Love bug minus a leg

 White hickory tussock moth caterpillar

 Ditto

 Ladybeetle pupa

 Three sleepy bees

 Assassin bug with hoverfly prey

Backyard Bug of the Day:

 Some kind of Hemiptera. The goldenrod has gone to seed in some places.

 Winter fireflies feeding on the center rib of catalpa leaves is a common sight lately.

Pretty wings.

Good night.
