Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Cuckoos

One of the Coelioxys genus sharptailed cuckoo bees.
And another. Coelioxys coturnix, probably. These are both males, by the way, with the spiky tails.
Squash Longhorn-Cuckoo (Triepeolus remigatus), first time this species has made an iNaturalist appearance in NYC.
Lunate Longhorn-Cuckoo (Triepeolus lunatus). Haven’t seen one of these in ten years.
