Bugwatch

[neverspent]

Drought is a tough time for mammals and birds, but most of the insects seem to be doing just fine. Here are a couple I saw at the farm last month: a large beetle with impressive "horns" I found (deceased) in a corner of the porch, and a handsome grasshopper who had been having a swim in the water bucket.



Another bug doing a good job finding the water, a dragonfly hanging out in a "rain garden" (watered by a series of rain collection barrels) at the zoo.
