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

Uncomon insects
An overcast sky looked like a storm was brewing, but it blew away. Then the sun was scorching and a buzzard soared ominously overhead. A skink scuttled into a crack. The blue was almost gone from its tail. There were three frogs to chase and I caught them all. I found an Asian horntail in the water along with an expired dragonfly nymph and a sidewalk tiger beetle that was still alive. A wheelbug climbed one of the milkweed pods. Some dogwood leaves showed Fall color but I wonder if it was drought stress.
