Iridescent blue - which warns predators about its bad taste! My Bugs of Ontario book tells me that this type of blue warning system is unusual this far north.

I was out getting a video of the firefly when I spotted this lovely moth.
Of course, I have no photos of the fireflies, but I managed a video last night. Don't blink, though!

About to turn in for the night, I spotted a Firefly in the front garden. I risked the bugs to capture a view.
In the meantime, Phoebe is still feeding 5 babies, and the bugs are quite numerous, flitting about in front of the camera!

Bless their little Phoebe hearts! It's a bad year for bugs. They have 5 babies, all happily thriving in the shed, despite 4 cats.

We have a bumper crop of bugs and the swallows are mowing down as many as they can. We can also hear the bats at work at night, but I don't think they've moved into our roof this year. Not a bad thing. They can make a lot of noise coming home early. - Margy
Interesting insects, Jenn. When we were in Bangladesh, we ended up taking more photos of insects than Bengal tigers since there weren't any tigers around. There are always insects.
Fascinating insects!
Cool looking insect...The blue color is pretty. We use to see tons of fireflies years ago, there are not nearly as much now.. :(
Have a great evening.
You have a keen eye for nature. Very cool!
Neat that you captured the firefly!
