| Garden: Walking Stick
|
 I started out of the front door the other day only to stop dead in my tracks seeing this walking stick sunning on the glass. I rerouted my steps to grab the camera and finished my coffee inside!

| Wildlife: Creepy Spider and Web
|
 I was in my back yard cleaning up, when I nearly bumped into this very efficient looking spider web complete with the actual spider in waiting. I was startled for a second, I suppose he was too. I recovered quickly and grabbed my camera.

 I was in my kitchen eating lunch when I noticed this guy right outside my window. I love leaf bugs! He was so good and still while I snapped his picture!

| Garden: Purple Coneflower (Echinacea)
|
 This bee was on one of my cone flowers. I was afraid he had overdosed on pollen, he was breathing really heavy. I went into the house and when I came back out to check on him, he was gone. I am sure he was the hero of the day in his nest!

| Wildlife: Monarch Butterfly
|
 I was surprised to see a Monarch butterfly resting in my front yard at night. It was there for at least 5 hours that I kept checking. During a windy episode, it even moved to the other side of the driveway marker.

 This is a swarm of bees on a tree branch behind our house. They looked like they were just in hanging air.

 A "fishing spider" I came across yesterday. It was quite large, it is on a 4 inch pole for size reference. Talk about nightmares!

| Be Careful Not To Damage Spiderwebs
|
 We are very careful not to destroy spider webs. The spider spends day and night catching mosquitoes and other flying insects. We don't have enough mosquitoes to feed many spiders because they have been working hard over the past three or four years.

| Squash Vine Borers
|
|
Squash vine borers have destroyed our whole squash crop. We have tried aluminum foil, pantyhose, waiting until after the borer "season" nothing is working. We will try the covered technique next year, however, the pollinators are unable to get to the squash that way.
