American Bullfrog

American Bullfrog Female
They used to challenge me to sit by the edge of the pond to see frogs.  If you sit quietly, they will come.

American Bullfrog Female
This female was watching for breakfast.

American Bullfrog Male
I have seen some seriously large bullfrogs of which this is one.

Black-horned Tree Cricket

Black-horned Tree Cricket
Yes, it is about time for this insect to appear.  I haven't seen the tall sunflower in bloom as yet.  When it blooms, we see this insect.

Question Mark Butterfly

Polygonia interrogationis
I have seen a few of these this year.  There are two similar appearing butterflies.  This one and the Coma.  I need to view the underside of the rear wing to distinguish them.

They live in wooded areas.

Underside of Rear Wing
This one was feeding on fecal matter atop the warm "pea" gravel.

Question Mark Butterfly
The water level in "My" vernal pool was receding rapidly.  Algae was caught on the cattail leaf.  It was still wet and the butterfly found it a good place to feed.

Kissling Farm Pano

Kissling Farm Pano
The DJI Phantom 3 Pro is a stable shooting platform, almost like a tripod.  I shot this panorama high above the farm.  Double Click to see it enlarged.

Slaty Skimmer Dragonfly

Slaty Skimmer Dragonfly
The Slaty Skimmers have been back but not as numerous as they were previously.  Maybe more will come.

Blue Dasher Dragonfly

Blue Dasher Male
We have many of these this season.

Blue Dasher Male
They perch, watch for an insect to eat, and fly away.  Presently, they return eating something.

Blue Dasher Male
They frequently exhibit this obelisk posture.  This display is perhaps a warning to other males.
