Then again, the last time I ID'd something as a mutilid it turned out to be a bradynobaenid, and the last time I ID'd something as a wasp it was an ant, so my track record is... not so good.

Damn, tarantula hawks are hard to get. So fidgety and flighty. They're unspeakably cool, though, so maybe I should go out with a net and an ice pack. I think this might be Pepsis mildei, given the large size and orange antennae. Are there other options?

Trichostema lanceolatum. How cool is this? Ok, it's common, but I still hadn't run into it until this afternoon. This might not be the most beautiful light, but it does show off this flower's unbelievable morphology. Reminds me of a French horn. Also, the smell was AMAZINGLY vinegary.

Tons of butterflies were everywhere in Eastern Pennsylvania. This monarch was at the edge of a corn field where some milkweed was growing.

These small green hoppers were plentiful among tall grass. Despite their very small size(2-3cm) , they had a surprisingly long jumping distance.

This small Dipteran fly flew into our car after leaving the field where we searched for butterflies.

Is it possible that trapdoor spiders plug their burrow when it gets too dry to conserve water? Must investigate...

I walked out my door headed for warmer, drier, snakier climes, but soon realized I had left my keys locked inside. As well as my wallet, and my phone. Equipped for a hike and with nothing else to do, I decided to walk up Claremont and explore the Berkeley hills. Not too much to see other than the evening fog rolling in, commuter cars rushing by, and lots of roadside trash, but I did find a few interesting tidbits, including this fine little Piperia.

I believe this is Agaricus augustus, aka "The Prince." Apparently it fruits in response to fog drip in the warmer months.

I'm pretty sure it was this type of Swan. The other Swans found in MI have a completely black beak I believe.
