Had a wonderful time at the Ladd Land with a group of folks to document as much as possible! The weather was surprisingly quite good (it was raining earlier this day) for the day time, but it was a little too chilly at night for the black-lighting. Looking forward to doing this again at the Ladd Land soonish!

I beheld this large dark flying insect about a 20th of a second before it smacked into the inner corner of my open right eye, having given me no time to guard against impact. Squinching my eye closed, I frantically clawed at it, praying it wasn’t a wasp or blister beetle. That felt like five minutes but was probably only three seconds before it dropped to the grass and tried to hide. In embarrassment, I hope, because my eyes are not flower-like. I kept prodding it out of the grass because I damn sure wanted a photo of my attacker! These are the best I could do with it in constant motion.
