Stinkbug eggs (Pentatomidae)
This small cluster of hatched eggs is on a single white pine needle. I have seen similar in other areas, including recently where all the just hatched stinkbugs were also on the same single pine needle as the eggs. Which shows how tiny eggs and nymphs are!

Liverwort
Easily overlooked, this thallose liverwort has reappeared in the Old Woodlot, coincidentally in one of our DSV circles. An even smaller leafy liverwort is visible at the bottom of this photo.

Gray Treefrog
Often heard "twittering" but seldom seen, this little Gray Treefrog was perched high on a trellis against the wall of our Resource Centre for most of Sunday afternoon. He ended up being the "star" of our nature walk as everyone lined up to have a look.

Monarch on Joe-Pye Weed
Lisa Vee photographed this female Monarch in the Butterfly Meadow and saw one later in the Backyard Garden (possibly the same butterfly). We're still hoping to see eggs and caterpillars on our many milkweed plants this year.
