Went out to feed the birds this a.m. & saw something "mounted" to a back porch support beam. Closer inspection revealed it was a very large #moth. My ID app suggests Polyphemus moth (Antheraea polyphemus) with an average wingspan of 6". It was just chilling during the a.m. storms. I hoped it would open up but it just stayed motionless. It was quite dark so the pics aren't the best. Antennae are very cool!

Stopped by Christie Pits on my way back from a dentist appointment today. Wasn't really expecting to find much given how much foot traffic and how little "wild" space there is, but to my astonishment there were a few different kinds of bees making burrows in sandy patches on the sunny hillside!
There were fluffy white-and-black mining bees (skittish, hard to get photos) and smaller, more docile metallic olive-green sweat bees.

855 Fotos hab ich vorhin am Apfelbaum innerhalb von 2 Stunden gemacht.
Eins ist was geworden und das macht mich froh.

First damselfly sighting this year!
And hallelujah I actually got it in focus. 😂
I have the hardest time photographing damselflies. They're just so tiny. So I end up arguing w the camera, trying to convince it that yes, there *really is* something there to focus on!
[Side note: I need to learn how to use the manual settings on my camera. Someday lol.]

Invaders from underground are coming in cicada-geddon. It’s the biggest bug emergence for North America in centuries.
AP reports: "Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature’s kings of the calendar."
