Including today, three of the last four Backyard Bugs of the Day were found in the same spot. It is the puddle on the rock in the backyard, although today the puddle was gone, leaving behind a wet, muddy spot. I was wondering about all the bugs I have been seeing in that puddle, and wondering what happens when the puddle is gone (I never think to look at that spot when there's no puddle, because it's just a spot on a rock then). And, there were some bugs there.
Backyard Bug of the Day:
This looks like an aphid. It was tiny, and it was moving, so I couldn't get a really good picture, which makes it difficult to identify.
There was one immature springtail still hanging out there.
I saw a lot more bugs today than you'll see here–they were mostly quite active, flying or even just crawling really fast, which makes photography impossible. But there was a nice variety of Other Bugs:
Weevil
The candy striped leaf hoppers were sunning on their favorite tree:
There's 19 of them here.
Springtails on the front walk
Moth on wilted mum
Woolly aphids' wings sticking out of a crevice in tree bark
Case bearing caterpillar
Western conifer seedbug
Lady beetle

I think this is a spider egg mass, found on the cellar door.
