Code red air quality alert issued in Hampton Roads due to wildfires. The wildfires are more than a thousand miles away but the thick haze was very apparent beginning yesterday. While I couldn't smell anything, I coughed and my eyes felt irritated while I was outside. A widow skimmer stood guard on one of the perches but something bit me anyway. I rescued a brown click beetle that had wedged itself into a crevice and wold have starved or fallen into the water. A mama spider hid behind a stick I had placed to help insects crawl out of the water. I also fished out an acorn weevil. There seemed to be fewer bees and wasps on the mountain mint today. The orchard spider seemed OK.
