I didn't know it was #WorldBeeDay but every day here is Bee Day, along with wasps, flies, butterflies, beetles etc..lol
Caught this bumblebee earlier, but no great shots as they keep moving and I didn't have the right lens (close-up micro + bumbles don't like it if you get that close...lol)
On a wild native Ribes/Gooseberry which the bumbles love- early flowering + all over the place- important plants!

CW: super cool itsy bitsy metallic wasp
This was my excitement for the day :) Seems to be a Mesopolobus wasp parasites of various caterpillars usually some used as biological control.
Mix of sun + cloud this afternoon with rain + small hail! Then the sun came + went again (+again). I've started looking at foliage as much as flowers for places to find critters, + this tiny one was on the leaves / stems of poplar suckers.

CW: cute ladybug on fuzzy mass-someone else's egg sac?
Can anyone tell me what this Ladybug is doing? It's clinging to some fuzzy mass stuck to a dry leaf on a wild Gooseberry stem. *Not* the 'nest' of the beetle itself, i had to look it up, but they lay a batch of eggs right on a leaf surface etc, no fuzzy covering. So, raiding the eggs or larvae of some other critter?

This tiny person is a bit soggy- I was watering some recently sown peas with bucket and scoop, and this one found its way into the bucket! I gently poured it out on the mulch, where it moved around a little before finding a grass stem it liked and staying there for a few minutes to dry- then it was gone! full set of pics on #iNat

CW: super cute fuzzy moth
Okay @vlrny Here are a couple of these cuties- I believe they are some sort of Lappet moths, I'll see if get a better id when I get some posted on iNat. I've seen a nmumber of them over the last week or two, on walls near outdoor nightlights. They blend in well with dried leaves, wood etc- can be more obvious on walls, but where there's some dbris caught in spider webs etc, they can still be hard to spot!

CW: cute tiny bee on flowers
Tiny native bees among other critters enjoying the flowers in the rock garden- native plants have not started to flower yet (except poplars and willows, the first herbaceous could be any day).

Mourning Cloak Nymphalis antiopa As usual 1st butterfly of the year for me! We've had a few warm dry 'bug' days, but not many + more chances of rain/snow this week + cooler days after low- mid teens the last couple. This was a sunny clear strip within open woods. This spot dry but snow/puddles 10-20m away. A few minutes later, (the same?) one flew up from one of the icey patches. No flowers of any kind yet.

I usually like to use current photos for #ArtAdventCalendar (Day 09) but yesterday I was only out long enough to cut a little wood + too lazy to take photos of decorations..lol So! as we approach Winter Solstice, views from the opposite side of the year as we approached Summer Solstice. I chose shots with a lot of shadow as a reminder that there always needs to be a balance between Light + Dark #animist #pagan #summer #florespondence #Bloomscrolling #butterfly #inverts #NativePlants #pollinators

I thought I was just taking photos of remaining leaves on Prunus tomentosa Nanking Cherry in the afternoon light. But, once I saw them closer on the computer screen I realised at least some of the leaves are no longer attached to the plant- some critter has made a wooly haven for ..? eggs (spider) or for their own transformation (caterpillar)? if all goes well over winter, new life will emerge from those leaves in the spring.. #nature #inverts #insects #arachnids #garden #Alberta #photography

CW: cool moth like a leaf
This is a cool mid-size #moth (a couple/several individuals shot over a couple of days) that I saw for a week or so (2?), shot during the day on the wall/screen door of the old trailer, below a night light. They perch mostly wings out, looking very much like an autumn leaf! Possibly Maple Spanworm Moth Ennomos magnaria we don't really have maple trees here, but they also use other species including Poplar which we have lots of! #insects #nature #Alberta #Canada #inverts
