Sweat Bee on Marigolds
Honey bees and bumblebees may be the most well-known bees, but those aren’t the only bees buzzing around.
Big, Shy Jumping Spider
This female jumping spider’s abdomen was swollen because she was getting close to laying eggs. She unsuccessfully tried hiding behind some gravel rocks as I took pictures.
Red Mites on Spurge
While pulling some spotted spurge from the yard, I noticed red mites scurrying around the plants. Upon closer examination, the mites were visiting tiny flowers on the weeds.
