An Assassin Bug! Wickedly cool!<br />My favorite strange book was about a guy who wanted to use Assassin Bugs to do Pest Control. It is still my favorite book to date. Clever and funny. <br />I love seeing insects and wandering with my neighbor's daughter who wants to be an entomologist when she grows up.<br />I know folks who have some pricey cell phones that can take macros. Not for me though. I still think of the cell as just a handy phone and way to check the weather.Val Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773318159420863765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11895469.post-85850069127243625932021-04-26T17:46:54.857-05:002021-04-26T17:46:54.857-05:00Oh wow, can't wait to see the fern.

It was so strange to think it was rain and put my hand out to see sleet! <br />I have seen photos of the Japanese painted fern. What a beauty. <br />Val Ewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11773318159420863765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11895469.post-71672178337433808142021-04-26T16:16:58.181-05:002021-04-26T16:16:58.181-05:00Frost on the Dandelions!

The insect looks like an Assassin bug. there are lots of versions, ( I just did a google search) but the Proboscis is very telling. They eat caterpillars and aphids, I think. Though, they may eat anything, give all those forms Google threw at me. I doubt I could get a tight focus like that with my camera. It is impossible to focus on small things. (Dogbane beetles...) Perhaps I should upgrade sometime in the future.

It no doubt enhances the variety of tiny life in your woods. We didn't get that cold. There was a short period of rain that started to ice up in the afternoon, but quickly stopped. We really need rain here in sand country. It is in the forecast this week, will see. I might have to go out and do a rain dance ;) My fav fern is Japanese painted fern, not native. Looks like what I transplanted near our house (from our previous home) is coming back. There is some kind of native fern growing throughout our pines, probably a Lady Fern. Pretty sure it is all the same kind. I will have to take notice! aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.com
