 Some Cool Finds!

A female Familiar Bluet captured a moth in Canatara Park. I find this impressive since the little Bluet is less than 4 cm in length!

This member of the Bristle Fly family made me smile when I saw the bristles covering its entire body!

Another species that I wasn't able to identify to the species, is a member of the Gymnosoma Genus. Gymnosoma means "naked body". If you look closely at this creature resting on Queen Anne's Lace, you will notice it has no hairs, unlike the Bristle Fly.

Not sure why this acorn is striped, but I assume that some type of insect is the cause.

I found a few spider webs after this morning's fog. It looks like 
both spiders chose good locations for capturing their next meals!
