Today afternoon while I was seeing some awesome insects like Green Darners and Black Saddlebags and a Ixodontia wasp carrying long grass blades (7 to 8 inches long) to some location under my office window, I watched an adult Bald Eagle circle around in front of my office window for a few minutes before heading off towards Lab of O I presume!
Finally, they are here. The Fireflies! About 30 + flying in the front and back yard. Till yesterday I had not seen them, so I was wondering if changes in the plant compositions changed the habitat for them. But no, I think they just were late in emerging this year. I went out to switch on moth lights, and was glad to observe fourth of July fireworks in the yard! I know Karen Edelstein posted seeing them a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else seen them earlier this year?
