Another nice day! It even sprinkled on me for a moment in the afternoon. Maybe ten drops. LOL.
The back of immature Spur-throated grasshopper (Melanoplus)!
A wasp was in a heap, missing parts.
The back half of a stink bug. Love the color!
A male Widow Skimmer wing!
Up close it looked like a window of stain glass.
The Red-Headed Ash Borer (Neoclytus acuminatus – tentatively) seemed to be missing parts. Additionally its wings seemed underdeveloped. Besides ash trees (which we do not have) it likes other hardwoods.
All that was left from a slider egg.
Always the eye-catcher, a Fiery Searcher Caterpillar Hunter (Calosoma scrutator) elytron.
All I can say it was a green bee and the ants were certainly enjoying a meal!
Finally, while I sat at my computer a male Blue Grosbeak sang a song outside our window!
After all that death i was glad to see a happy singing bird.
😊
Amen, Judy! But aren’t those parts really beautiful?
Even the bits and pieces can be lovely. The stink bug looks like ancient glass.
The stink bug reminds me of sea glass.
You did find some tiny treasures!
