A few days ago, as I was going to bed, I looked down and thought 'oh, I must have dropped a weird green pen I didn't even know I had'. That was my first personal encounter with a Mantis. Watched her for a while, then gave her an Uber to outside on a piece of paper. Very polite and calm insect, if you don't happen to be an insect, too. Welcome!

Willington Wetlands: "home to the first beavers back in Derbyshire after 800 years. They enjoy access to the whole of the 40 hectares of wetland habitat. The wetlands are also teeming with bird life all year round and dragonflies and damselflies are plentiful here too. "

I told Maggie sawfly larva are eating our red-osier dogwood, and she said "that doesn't sound promising", but:
1. I'm gardening for wildlife
2. Baby birds rely on #sawflies & caterpillars for nutrition
3. Predators like birds will show up to eat them, and keep them under controlI was not prepared for how violent predation could be. A paper wasp simply tore pieces off the living larva?! My photos are so graphic I hesitate to post them to iNaturalist, it feels like they need CWs.

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
