Saturday's Critters

Things have been quiet. We keep hoping for rain. 

Fred and little Fred:



Butch has been around. Just one at a time. This is the first year we haven't seen any kits on the trailcams. It is unusual. 

 

 The coyote with the messed up leg hasn't been around since July 18.

   

 I do like watching the porcupine. They are so quiet, and just amble around the forest.

   

Then there are the stink bugs! Pretty colours, I would say.
 
The gray tree frog: 



 🐛Monarch caterpillars. The first looks like the 3rd instar (morph), the others perhaps the second. 





🐸I managed to take the goldfish pond pump out and clean it. Froggie wouldn't move so I had to bonk his raft out of the way. He wasn't amused.

You get a greater and more unusual variety than most.

That tree frog is pretty funny. I have little green frogs that get on the front door sometimes. Happy weekend!

The creatures are feeling the heat and the drought.

Love your critters and hope that you (and we) get some rain.

The caterpillars are doing a number on some leaves. I think thee is also evidence of leaf miner activity.
