2020 July 6 evening

 

   Wanted:   Good quality close-up photographs of crane flies.   Have a look around your porch light and elsewhere.  There are several species of interest.  Also of interest would be some good-quality photographs of Polistes wasps.  The interest in the latter is aroused in that the abdomen of the Polistes wasp in this morning’s photograph shows rather more black than is usual in P. dominula.

 

  Jochen Möhr writes from Metchosin:  This morning on the wall merely one moth, which I surmise might be Lacinipolia pensilis.
