Needed rain

The yard people came in the morning so I stayed inside.  Several brief, light showers passed through in the afternoon.  I decided to swim anyway an rescued lots of insects that had been blown into the water.  I fished out more scarabs than ground beetles plus one small brown click beetle that performed its click jump.  Some of the scarabs were Japanese beetles which I did not save.  Others were brown May beetles and paler beetles that might have been shining leaf chafers.  I also saved a couple of wasps and at least three bumblebees and one spider.  But on account of the showers I left the camera indoors.  Then after 6pm a thunderstorm drenched us.  It got as dark as twilight two hours before sunset.
