Mr Spock would have said ‘fascinating’! I said the same thing yesterday in the forest! What a marvellous creature of nature!

Their larvae feed on pussytoes / Antennaria, so I'm hoping that planting pussytoes in my garden will help attract more of them and support them in their full life cycle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_lady
An intrepid Huron Sachem, no doubt on a quest of some sort.
Apparently, #Atalopedes huron and A. campestris used to be conspecific, but were recently found to be distinct species, so it's hard to find info on this newly separated species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atalopedes_campestris
Dragonflies are supreme predators, catching and eating several hundred insects each day, many of which would otherwise annoy you.
They indicate a relatively healthy habitat that can produce enough prey individuals. This one is in area where there are clean quiet waters for their young, surrounded by a protected maritime forest. Easy Street.

Found this ENORMOUS grapevine beetle (_Pelidnota punctata_) on plants in someone's yard on my way to the grocery store yesterday!! I didn't even know beetles got this big here.
Good morning, have a good weekend everyone!
Habt alle ein schönes Wochenende!
A very normal looking thorn, nothing to see here, move along.
Widefooted treehopper
A glittery bi-colored striped sweat bee visiting a purple cone flower.
These bees live in communal ground burrows, I see them peeking out as they come and go. Quite charming.
This beautiful creature has taken up temporary residence in one of our shrubs (very well camouflaged!). Female emperor I reckon.
We get quite a few dragonflies passing through - a broad-bodied chaser yesterday - though no water nearby that I know of (besides the bird bath!)
Exactly how loud are the #cicadas this year?
Well... I haven't seen or heard many at all near me in #AuroraIllinois, myself. But sections of the #Chicago suburbs are already seeing-- and hearing!-- a lot of them.
One Facebook friend in #Warrenville #Illinois posted this image of her SmartWatch, which was taking a sound measurement of the ones near her. (She has the red-eyed 17-year brood in her yard.)
Another commenter in northern Illinois said that it's as loud as if they're attending a rock concert.
