Photos from the day before yesterday and today: Photo 1: a Common Blue butterfly on the Blue Lin, Photo 2: a Karst White or Small Cabbage White, Photo 3: a Spotted Grasshopper (still tiny—you can perhaps gauge its size by the lavender flower it’s sitting on; so it’s still in the larval stage, though I have no idea which instar), Photo 4 shows a shed exoskeleton of a dragonfly larva, probably the Four-spotted Dragonfly, Photo 5 shows a leaf-cutter bee, likely the alfalfa leaf-cutter bee; Photo 6 shows a bellflower scissor bee; Photo 7 shows a rusty-red mason bee—a late-season specimen— I thought its flying season was already over, which is why I didn’t recognize it, and Photo 8 shows a viper’s-bite mason bee.
