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.
