Drying out

Hungry bees covered the mountain mint.  They were in constant motion.  Small wasps tussled with each other.  I couldn't figure out whether they were fighting or mating. 

A white summer azure butterfly visited the mountain mint.  A black and yellow insect sat on one of the mountain mint flower heads.  One of the black carpenter bees was half yellow with pollen. 

Skinks needed to cross the patio.  Hummers visited the new feeder. I rescued a brightly colored wasp with metallic blue wings and a red abdomen.  A tiny spider built a web in the rue and a second instar caterpillar rested on a leaf.  A twelve spotted skimmer chased insects high in the air.
