Yard Stuff!
Our yard continues to attract lots of Things with Wings!
A Cicada (sp) chose the front curb to emerge from it's exuviae (final moult). The adult is drying its wings right beside the exoskeleton that protected it while living under ground for a few years.
Common Aerial Yellowjacket on native Late Figwort. Figworts are considered to be among the best nectar producers in the plant world! The little cups are full of nectar and it has become a plant prized by bee keepers!
