Canada's boreal forests absorb quite a bit of winter heat, which could offset up to a fifth of their cooling benefits. #borealforest

CW: nifty black dragonfly on dandelion leaf
This is another species: Black Meadowhawk Sympetrum danae; more of these around last week or so than the White-faced.

CW: cool moth like a tapestry
From a bit of distance, you might just see a grey moth, but a closer look reveals delightful details. The First two shots are from one that fell down from the door frame of the old house when I opened the screen door. I gave it a dandelion leaf to walk onto and moved it to safety. Last shot is another from a week back.

2 2nd tiny frog This is in wetland area on the farm just outside the acreage. No standing water around at this time (except on my driveway), mix of grass/sedge, shrubby willows and dwarf birch with larger (same species) willows, paper birch, tamarack (larch) poplars and spruce nearby in wetland edge and blending to upland.

1 of 2 These two tiny frogs were photographed less than a minute apart and within a metre or few. As different as they look (next post), I think they are both Boreal Chorus Frogs Pseudacris maculata (the ones that sing in ponds in the spring).Fast little critters= crappy photos..lol

CW: shiny copper coloured wasp on leaf
I was talking about #wasps (etc) with @enriquericos + @NatureMC here's a cool local one not huge but good size- maybe close to 1 inch/couple cm long? but very narrow. I *think* this is the same kind I saw earlier in the year laying eggs in cocoon of the Forest Tent Caterpillars (of which we had a major explosion this year- did I ever share videos?) if so, this should have been a great year for them! #insects #Alberta #BorealForest #inverts #nature #photography

CW: colourful bee mimic fly
This handsome person was on a willow support in a pea garden bed. At first I thought it was a much more common Tachinid fly, but this is new to me: Mesembrina decipiens (I think, I'll see if I get any input on iNat), which is in the housefly family -though not a housefly, and clearly a bee mimic. I'm not sure what the adult feeds on (just saw the one, and it wasn't feeding) but it seems larvae likely develop in dung.

Up until approximately a decade ago, most boreal forest lightening strikes fell on damp ground, usually from recent snow melt. Climate change has turned the upper half of North America into a giant tinder box.

Finally got through the 2nd day of the week for iNaturalist observations. I still have over 3,000 photos to process.
This number will change, of course, as identifiers catch up. But as of now, I added 46 new-to-me species during the week!
