It's been slim pickins' lately trying to come up with some content to entertain you folks , sorry about that. I've basically just been raking leaves, making mulch, smothering some grass, and helping my parents move. There's just not a lot happening outside right now, but I've got something exciting I'm working on, more details later.
The unseasonably warm weather has continued and we've been seeing a lot of insects that should be asleep by now. These two Ladybugs showed themselves over the weekend. I've also seen a few Leaf Footed Bugs, Wheelbugs, and Earwigs. Stink Bugs too, but they don't count, they're always around.
Cool black 2 spot! I rarely see any of those.
ReplyDeleteOooooo, your hand looks kinda ashy! Maybe a nice hand cream would be in order.
ReplyDeleteGee whiz, thanks Jeff.
ReplyDeleteJeff, don't be critical now ... . Cute ones, I don't think I've ever seen the black one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen!
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a black lady beetle once before, and I've finally identified it thanks to my Kaufman bug guide, it's called an Ashy Gray Lady Beetle. Yes, even though it's black! (There are 2 color forms) Purely a coincidence that my hands were "ashy" too, what can I say, I'm a worker bee not a queen!
Ah, I guess Jeff was being funny then! Happy Thanksgiving, you two.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's like that. However, it's not like she didn't point out how ashy my legs were earlier this week just before I headed out for a run.
ReplyDeleteOooops! Happy Thanksgiving E!
