A duskywing loved the mint. A black swallowtail laid eggs on the rue. A red spotted purple flitted around the cherry and landed on the aucuba. I saw a tiger swallowtail but didn't get a picture.
A spider demonstrated how to walk on water. I rescued a green metallic tiger beetle and that ungrateful spider. Meanwhile, the Argiope had its lunch all wrapped up. A great blue skimmer perched and watched. A small black bee on the butterfly milkweed had pollen al over its forehead as well as in baskets on its front legs. A great black digger wasp zipped around the flowers faster than I could follow.
A hummingbird looked for nectar in all the wrong places. The scarlet beebalm bloomed though the plant looked battered. But the hummer didn't notice the red flowers. A male hummer showed up in the late afternoon but got away without a photo. So did a blue jay that raided the porridge in the bark butter dish. I saw an osprey land in the neighbor's pine.
