Sweltering

At breakfast I noticed a big cicada on the window screen.  K said it was there last night.  

I didn't get outside till after lunch, which made me nervous because it was prime time for a greenhead attack.  But none occurred.  I found another minuscule monarch caterpillar and moved it to the butterfly milkweed.  

There was a dead skinklet in the skimmer and a live one swimming.  I also rescued a wasp and several crickets.  Surprisingly few dragonflies were around but a Carolina saddlebags flew reconnaissance overhead. I saw a tiger and a black swallowtail. A hummer fed.  The young bluebirds kept watch on the empty suet cage.
