Wasp Polistes fuscatus

Things are also happening in the insect world too. Earlier today, before going to Billings Bridge for the Wildlife Festival, I saw this Polistes fuscatus wasp seeking warmth on the sunny side of a building on the farm. There were dozens of Muscid flies around as well. A week ago, in Larose Forest, I saw a Ctenucha moth caterpillar, some leafhoppers and Colletes bees. Today, driving to the Festival, I saw a Mourning Cloak butterfly pass in front of the car. Each day, particularly each warm day, brings forth more new observations. Unfortunately, if we get the cooler, wetter weather forecast for the coming week, things will slow right down.
