2016 September 23<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Welcome to the first full day of Fall.\u00a0 The equinox was at 1:44 PDT yesterday, but today is the first full day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The mystery of Mike Yip\u2019s swarming insects (see yesterday\u2019s posting) is now solved, at least to Family.\u00a0 Mike got a close up picture of one, and it is an ant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aziza Cooper writes: Two Variegated Meadowhawks<\/strong> were in Beacon Hill Park, yesterday, Sept. 22. Also there were three large metallic green dragonflies which wouldn’t perch for a photo. I saw just one Cabbage White<\/strong> butterfly in two hours.<\/p>\n

The one below one was on Jody\u2019s truck.\u00a0 Thanks to Jeremy Gatten for pointing out that it is a Western Conifer Seed Bug<\/strong>, and not an assassin bug as originally posted.<\/p>\n
