  1. 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

  6. 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.

  16. 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.

  21. 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!
