Butterflies were out: a cabbage white, a palamedes swallowtail, a gray hairstreak, and others that got away. The eggs on the parsley hatched into caterpillars just big enough to see. I saw a blue dasher before it dashed away. Lots of small webs festooned the shrubs, both orbs and domes. Bees and wasps were working on the herbs. I saw a small black thread-waisted wasp and a blue winged digger wasp. Jays and squirrels were busy with acorns. Hummers were hungry, of course.I tried to identify the flower in the photo with the gray hairstreak and learned it is a DYC. When the afternoon sun, about 4pm, came through the bathroom widow, I discovered there was a huge orb web outside.
