Thursday Live, Episode 251: 10 Minutes and something new!

I like praying mantis. They are camouflaged and hard to spot.They look like aliens yet eat pesky garden insects. Overall, insects are underrated. Without them, humans wouldn’t survive. They are really interesting creatures and most people know little to nothing about them. Yes, horse flies are larger than deer flies. Both are annoying and never give up circling you for blood. Even when you dive under water for a swim, they’ll be there waiting for you when you pop your head out of the water.

That is great to know!

The Merlin app is great, your bird might be a Northern Flicker from what you described. I love fireflies too! Dragon flies! I watched a teeny tiny ant carry a sunflower seed shell more than 5 times his size, thanks for sharing today! Needed a friend to talk to!
