…lots of good finds.

We found a new resident in one of our insect traps today, a flying squirrel decided to make a home out of the top of the trap. This is the first time I have ever seen a flying squirrel…and it was pretty darn cute.

And speaking of pretty darn cute, I almost stepped on this little toad that was about the size of my thumbnail.

It was a bugger’s paradise yesterday…

This next insect is actually a fly (Copodidae) that mimics a wasp in order to avoid predation. The antennae, proboscis, and halteres give it away as a fly.

This last one is one of my favorite groups of insects, a horse fly. Not sure on the species though, probably Hybomitra spp.
