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

Arthropods
Cumulus clouds sailed on a North wind but the sun shone most of the time. The mabel orchard spider's web had caught a lot of saltbush fluff but, as I watched, something tiny flew into the web and the spider ran to capture it. When I came back inside I saw a brown stinkbug on the window. I released it outdoors though I suspect it was a pest. I did a little pruning and a red spotted purple flitted by. It nestled into a clump of dogwood leaves out of the wind. The milkweed seeds had mostly floated away but one was still stuck. The sack of spider eggs that I moved to the sakaki was still in place. I was too chilly outside and didn't linger.
