 My Favourite Things! (This week)

I watched a Monarch lay eggs on the milkweed in my backyard. The centre of this heavily cropped photo shows one white egg, about the size of a pin head. It can take between 3 to 8 days for the egg to hatch.

Mating Crane Flies.

I watched a Crane Fly trying to lay her eggs in the dry earth. You can see her abdomen touching the soil. Her ovipositor is at the end of the abdomen.

At least one Great Egret has a favourite roosting area in Canatara. Notice how he is leaning backwards? He was being harassed by a Red-winged Blackbird. (top left of photo)

An inch worm going for a walk!

After an early morning rain, water droplets clung to the "teeth" of some Wild Strawberry plants.
