These 2 colonies of ants comes out in spring and fall. They are at an almost constant war with the colony on the other side of the sidewalk.

Seeing this colony grow over the years has been something that I have really enjoyed. I know most people dont like ants especially when they get into their homes. However I sure do love them

I thought this feisty little critter was an isopod until I got a closer look. This is a carrion beetle larva, and, as their name suggests, adults and larvae of this insect eat dead animals, maggots that live in carrion, and/or other types of decaying organic matter. I have no idea where this one came from, since there were no dead animals nearby or compost. Perhaps an insectivorous bird dropped it, or maybe this particular species likes chicken manure (there was a chicken tractor nearby vroom vroom). Putting this next part below the cut because it's a little gross. Proceed with caution:

This carrion beetle child seemed somewhat hungry, as it was nibbling at some dead skin around my finger nail. It tickled a bit and reminded me of the shrimp they sometimes have at aquariums that will nibble at your fingers. Yes that's a thing.

A delicate damselfly rests quietly, blending into its surroundings with intricate wings and slender form. Nature’s subtle details come alive in this peaceful moment.
