Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
Five species of wasp, two species of butterflies, several species of flies, and at least one ant species in plentiful numbers were all over this Wych Elm last week. The tree was practically gushing sap and although it was October, there was a feeding frenzy going on.
Fabulous images, as always! Thank you
Sounds like a late Octoberfest version of a termite hatch. I’m surprised there weren’t more birds enjoying the cornucopia
Not sure I would have gotten in so close to some of those visitors!
