It's #FlyDay!!!!
Critters that fly. This #LadyBug can fly.
I took this the day I found out my #CanonR7 has a photo stacking feature built in. #Sigma105Macro plus a 31mm extension tube made it difficult to get the whole thing sharp, but the head and eyes turned out ok.

Stumbled across this Wood Ant this morning, presumably fresh from its winter hibernation, scouting on a rotten stump

A Clouded Drab NFY from the trap last night. Compared to some of the drabs I've seen on #TeamMoth today, this one is undoubtedly drabbier. But I'll take it; there's going to be a lot more in my trap over the next few months.

3/1 Given the minimum temperature was only around 7C I was hoping for something more than 3 Common Quakers. It was a little breezy but still.

Riding out of the sand prairie! 🍄 🌿

A tall red and white mushroom grows in front of stringy green moss that hangs down from a wall of dirt in the background. This mushroom, Amanita muscaria, stands about 10 inches tall. Its stipe is thick and white with a rough-looking texture. Its cap is dome shaped, reddish-orange, and covered in slightly separated raises white patches.
Stringy green moss makes a great backdrop for a reddish-orange and white Amanita muscaria 🌱🍄

pyxie cup lichen
I believe this lichen is called pyxie cup or lesser sulphur cup. Grows on top of a wooden fence by the river.
