Brood XIX. I saw hundreds, mostly exuviae, but many flying or perching, and heard thousands. Oddly, the singing canceled out my chronic tinnitus, although it didn't sound like my tinnitus.

A beautiful grey-eyed female collected last night as a nymph! I've been searching for any showing signs of unusual coloration and hope to locate more tonight.

Observation faite dans le cadre de l’Initiative pour un atlas des libellules du Québec.

Observation made under the Initiative for a Quebec Dragonfly Survey.

Dark-winged form

Several seen in the area, both on the brook and along the trail nearby. This one posed nicely for a dorsal shot. Not fully mature, as the eyes still need to become green.

female

The "top" beetle. Strange interaction: a Lyconotus lateralis male apparently attempting to mate with a Photinus pyralis female on a common milkweed flower cluster

Melanistic

calopteron ?

Is this an unmarked Margined TB? everything else was a clearly marked
Salt marsh habitat

Omus sequoiarum

The female cheeta had let the gemsbok get away. Maybe too large in any event for a single cheetah to bring down.

Found in rotting log

Continuing bird. Banded in Dec '21 by Allen Chartier.

A friend of mine found this one-in-a-million blue eyed cicada! Couldn’t pass up the chance to take some photos

apparently space was tight.

Lulu, our Southern Flying Squirrel eating a Pharaoh cicada that made it into our screened porch. I'm guessing there will be a bunch of fat squirrels running around Anderson this year.
