Today's Insects

Common Whitetail

A couple of things of interest today, as I relaxed on the back porch this afternoon.  A Common Buckeye stopped in the yard to nectar.  It is only the second record for the yard!

As I was watching this, a surprise arrival buzzed around me.  A Cicada Killer Wasp circled the yard for a bit.  Certainly the first one I have seen around here!  I saw it again later.  No chance for a photo on this one though.
(from last year)

I decided to go for a walk up at McKeough.  What do you know.....I found another Cicada Killer Wasp!  I watched it for some time, but it never set down.  I have never noticed them before in this area, but they are certainly expanding. Point Pelee probably has hundreds right now.  In fact I have never seen so many there as I have this summer.

I caught sight of one Flag-tailed Spinyleg along the shore.






Several Royal River Cruisers were around today as well.
Some photos:
