I am fascinated by the fact that I have found a Harvester 4 Springs in a row on more or less the exact same branch on a Callery Pear. I am looking for rear by Wooly Aphids but have yet to locate them

The prey

Continuing rare bird.

Found next to a mudhole... just one

Found by Dirk Stevenson, determined by GB Edwards

Is this a beetle mimicking a velvet ant?

This record is for the robber fly, which had black hairs off the scutellum

This record is for the prey item

Growing on soil and woody detritus near a mixed forest edge.

This seemed a favorite perch. As I approached the area, it flew across the water to the trees. Paddling past that post toward the trees, it flew black to re-establish itself.

Taken with camera with no GPS. I remember the location being in field of Leon Hall Price Park.

On Tsuga canadensis needles.
