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.”

Groupings

A couple of bees.

Pug Moth caterpillar, bee, plant bug.

Foraging bee walks right over immobile lizard.

Another bee, of three while I watched, doesn’t stir the lizard.

A mess of small rove beetles and a larger (half-inch at best) beetle enjoy some fungus. I think the larger one is Eustrophopsis bicolor.

This Two-spotted Diaperis Beetle is carrying a couple of Mesostigs mites.
