Flaky
The Internet is being flaky here at my house tonight. 🤷🏻♀️ If the photo is there, it is a Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva aurea).
The Chase
A little warmer than yesterday with high of 82f. Still was pretty darn pleasant out, eh! On the way out the back door I stopped to check the smartweed. A small black wasp bore watching. It was very interesting seeing it curl and unfurl its antenna multiple times. So why? For sure it knew why….

Since these animals are herbivores they seemed to get along. However when watching closely you never know what excitement awaits. 🙂 Next stop was at…
Saxon Park
