Briar wanted to go out around 4am. I found this nibbled out Bisbee red cowpea flower.A pair of Red-banded Hairstreaks mating. They must have started yesterday as I can’t imagine they were flying at night.Alright actual morning, the chewed up flower still opened!A bit of rain seems to have the Bisbee red cowpeas really blooming!A tepary bean flower!She had a piece of grass on her nose, silly dog.A break indoors. Gram’s really lounging hard.A close up of this hard working kitty cat.A geometrid moth trapped in the shower. I released it outside.Front porch is boring. She sits next to more strawberry runners I’m capturing in dirt for a coworker.A Pearl Crescent sits on moon and stars watermelon leaf which is speckled with “stars”.A different watermelon flowering. I forget which variety.A jumping spider patrolling the cushaw squash vineBriar investigates.An American Bumblebee (Bombus pennsylvanicus) in the loofah gourd flower.The volunteer loofah gourds are really framing the rain barrel nicely.A different loofah individual has made itself a ground cover for one of the apple trees.The whole front garden.
The hairstreaks are cool!
