2020 April 30 afternoon

 

  Jeff Gaskin reports a Mourning Cloak from Panama Flats, April 29.

 

 Gordon Hart writes from the Highlands:  Yesterday, April 29, I saw five Western Spring Azures near the Pike Lake Substation ponds, and about four at home. I still have not seen any dragonflies. Today, April 30, is cool and windy, but I have seen two Western Spring Azures at home.

 

   Now for two bees:

 

Bombus flavifrons (Hym.: Apidae)  Gordon Hart

 

Thanks to Annie Pang for identifying the next one:

 

Male Osmia lignaria (Hym.: Megachilidae)  Mr E
