I will be leading a couple of my famous insect tours in Green-Wood Cemetery on May 17th and 18th. The 18th is a walk specifically for kids. Green-Wood charges for these tours (and pays me).
My Bugging Out events often sell-out, so reserve early.
On June 14th, I will be leading an insect and the birds that love them walk for the Brooklyn Bird Club at Brooklyn Bridge Park. BBC members have priority for registration.
I strive to keep my Tours & Adventures page up-to-date, so keep an eye out for future events.
The Bumblebee is from last fall, but these other pictures are of my first Hymenoptera of this season, not counting invasive Western Honey Bees. This is a sawfly, taxonomically distinct from the bees, wasps, and ants. That wing venation looks like the genus Dolerus, maybe D. unicolor, or Early Sawfly, but there are 74 Dolerus species in our area according to bugguide.net. Here the animal is hanging out on a magnolia, another early arrival.
