Oh hey! Apparently #InsectThursday is a thing. So here you go. Found this guy relaxing next to the roof rails on the Subie and he hung out long enough for me to grab the camera. I moved him before I drove off.

First 'proper' insect of the year despite the cold and endless rain.. Hawthorn Shield Bug on my strawberries.

A monk named Modomnoc is said to have introduced bees to Ireland in the 6th century, #travelling by boat from Wales Native Irish words about bees emerged at this time such as beach (bee), mil (honey) & míodh (mead) 🐝 #FolkloreThursday #Legend #Speirgorm #InsectThursday #IrishLanguage #Nature 📷me

CW: cool looking fly on plant
Hmm I could make this #InsectThursday or #InsectFriday or how about #FlyDay
Anyway, this cool customer was in the garden last #June so I guess #ThrowbackThursday works too 😉
Funny:posted it on iNaturalist, their system recognised right away that it was a photo of a Lonicera/Honeysuckle - the plant the fly is sitting on- from the close-cropped photo! Impressive, except it didn't notice the fly at all..

We found several more well-camouflaged jagged ambush bugs (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢 sp.) in the goldenrods (𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘰 sp.) on last Sunday's hike. Here's one:
-
Oleander aphids (𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘪) on swamp milkweed (𝘈𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢), from July 2022.
Interestingly, these little critters are all female; no males are found in the wild. They reproduce by parthenogenesis.

CW: spider (with live young?)
I thought this #spider looked bumpy, but viewing on the computer screen, it seems like those could be its young, all over its back? About the size of common wolf spider here in #CentralAlberta, on the ground on the sunny, hot side of the house, amid some spray foam insulation. #Arachnid #InsectThursday ( I know, but spiders have traditionally been included..lol)

CW: bee + butterfly on flowers
@plants @nature #InsectThursday we've had some cool days, a few quite warm, and lots of moderate days, good amount of sunshine, and plenty of rain-- so things are green and flowering, and #insect life is thriving! Probably the most #butterflies and moths I've ever seen and plenty of #bees and Flower Flies (missing, though, are bigger wasps- Yellowjackets and Bald-Faced-weird!).

Okay, another combo post or #mashup as the youngsters might say 😉 First #butterflies of the year (Aglais milbertii Fire-rim Tortoiese Shell + Nymphalis antiopa Mourning cloak- 2 beautiful butterflies with great Latin names!) for #InsectThursday (saw first bees too, but another post for that).
First #flowers of the year- Salix sp #pussywillows for #FlowersOnFriday + the ongoing return of dramatic #clouds rounding out #SixOnSaturday

@plants @nature Another (late 😆 ) #Throwback to #July #InsectThursday #FlowersOnFriday + #FlyDay +early #WildflowerHour Illustrating the value of as wide a range of flowering plants as possible, both many natives and exotics- especially those that extend the season at times fewer natives are flowering (here that's both early + late, though I do have non-natives flowering all summer).

@plants @nature #InsectThursday #ThrowbackThursday #RockGardens are great for #pollinators- I have flowers from early spring (before native plants start) until covered by snow in mid-late fall. #Bees of all sorts love the #flowers on this low mounding Paederota bonarota (Potentilla nitida and Sempervivum behind) like this flashy #bumblebee ! And check out the blue and yellow pollen bundles in the close crop! #Alberta #NaturalGardening #florespondence #FlowerFriday

CW: flies on flowers
@plants @nature #InsectThursday #ThrowbackThursday late #June + some of the vast number of #pollinators that enjoy Gypsophila repens over its season long #flowering! These are a cool Syrphid Fly #FlowerFly (so many beauties in this family-flying jewels!) and a fierce looking Tachinid Fly- their larvae are parasitic on other insects(if you want insect populations in balance, you need lots of species of insects!) adults active on #flowers #NaturalGardening #Alberta #biodiversity
