Beauty of the woods

Tamarack (Larix laricina)

Sheep Laurel (Kalmia angustifolia)

Fair thee well you Low.









Finally after what seems to have been an eternity, Maine is beginning to clear out. That doesn't mean we still won't have daily storms, but we'll take what we can,as long as it comes our way.

June Collecting


June was disappointing, wet,cool and very windy. My bog really didn't produce what I was hoping for, but I did manage to come up with more species.
Both top & bottom views are included for the majority, but not all of those collected.
I was going to wait and post this later, but work schedule looks like I'll post it now.

Bittacomorpha


Phantom Crane Flies! These guys are just an interesting little critter that I've really begun to see in the last few years. Whether they are becoming more prolific or it's because I've become more aware of them, I'm not too sure. Probably the latter. I walked out of the house this morning, and there at the door was a Phantom.
