  1. Here's something a little different - the two-spotted tree cricket (Neoxabea bipunctata). The two "spots" on the forewings identify females; the males are spotless. They're native to North America; this one probably visited our front door from the deciduous woods nearby. #backyardwildlife #backyardnature #entomology

  6. Three Good Things

    🌹 A romantic date last night. He brought long-stem red roses!

    🌹 Summer semester grades have been officially posted. Term GPA: 4.0!

    🌹 After exploring our small neighborhood, Wee Bunz has returned to my backyard as his or her familiar thumping ground. Like his or her older sibling, Cottontail, Wee Bunz has taken an interest in my comings and goings, but as always, I stay a safe distance for both of us.

    Just a reminder: I do not feed, attempt to handle, or even approach any of the three generations of wild bunnies who have made my yard and my nextdoor neighbor's woodpile their home. They are free to safely live their wild lives here. All I do is document.

  11. Nocturnal Duo

    The coon is in my mind,
    a shadow revealed by the porch light,
    turning in circles in the backyard,
    licking each blade of grass.

    Is this behavior normal?
    Is the creature sick?
    Does it know that another masked insomniac
    seeks something here?
    Will it accept food from my hand if
    I step from these walls into the night?

    The visitor disappears and I am
    reluctant to cut the light.

    Will there be a second coming, a revelation of the wild?
    I, awake with the questions, keep watch through the window,
    feeling so much like an orphaned child.

    <<<<<<*>>>>>>

    In the morning the walnut tree has grown a different nut.
    The neighbor dog has treed the coon.
    They sit on limb and root
    heads down in saddened state,
    neither happy with this stalemate.
    I open the door to join the inaction.

    I seek some distraction.
    The dog finds its own, rushing off for its morning dig
    in the compost heap.

    My nocturnal companion sees its chance,
    moves headfirst down the trunk and
    scampers off to sleep.

  13. This tiny #backyardnature visitor is the peach tree weevil (Pseudoedophrys hilleri). They feed on the foliage of rosaceous plants (e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, roses, rowans, etc.) Native to Japan, it is an adventive species in the eastern US. #entomology #backyardwildlife #weevilwednesday
