Storm in the night

I found the green bee again and the mantis.  I thought the Argiope had gone missing but it reappeared.  Since there were still some buds on the hibiscus, I neem-oiled it some more.  In doing so, I discovered a scary form hanging in the rue. I believe it was the shed exoskeleton of an assassin bug, possibly a wheelbug.

After dark, I heard thunder, wind, and rain.  That won't be good for the neem oil,or the barkbutter balls.  Because the birds disappeared, i put out barkbutter balls in addition to the suet.  I saw a Carolina wren make off with one of those.  Hummers found their feeder, eventually, after an inspection of the barkbutter balls.
