Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
At the beginning of the month, I spotted a nymph Broad-headed Sharpshooter. Since then, I have been looking, relatively diligently, at this same patch of mugwort in hope of seeing the adult form. And I must say, “Braod-headed” is bit utilitarian:
Oncometopia orbona.
This is why I leave the house.
What a beauty this little creature is! Thank you for the detailed photos.
I just want to say thank you for your diligence, your photographs, and leaving the house!
I want to share your Backyard and Beyond emails with a photographer friend how do I do that ?
Forwarding the email should do the trick. Or copy the url of the original post and send that.
