Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

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.
