Nice! Something I’ve noticed for many decades: Robber flies follow me when I hike. Maybe I stir up small insects that they attack?

They do squeak when you hold them, but that’s hard to photograph πŸ˜‰

If you’re in coastal Southern California, check the flowers for caterpillars of sulphur butterflies. Most often Phoebis sennae, the cloudless sulphur, and Phoebis agarithe, the large orange sulphur

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff.

RTs appreciated here.

A brown, wood-tone interpretive sign called Magnificent Migratory Monarchs. It explains monarch natural history and includes a diagram of their life cycle and map of their migration route. It also includes photos of different local milkweed species.

A large kiosk with three visible interpretive signs in a park on a sunny day. One sign is called Evolution of a River and tells the story of the Assiniboine River's course change since the last ice age. The other visible sign is called Below the Surface and shares information about the food web in the river.
