Some little girls greeted me at the park today - they were exploring. The abundance of blue damselflies was an exciting find! I was exploring too and made some discoveries of my own.
There are a number of
Slender Beardtongue opening. I found them a few places.
Some are hiding in the sumac along the creek shore. Such a hairy flower!
And I've noticed a few places where small bunches of
Black Medic are growing. This one was on the creek peninsula They were just a couple inches tall.
A
Silver Cinquefoil was also found on the peninsula.
I'm learning so many wildflower names! If you know I've got one wrong - let me know and I'll correct it! Flowers were not the only new things found. Today I found a large number of these greedy little fellows -
Trirhabda larva. Kind of a funky name. He will grow up into a beetle.
And I found my first
Monarch Caterpillar of the year today.
Hope you enjoyed!
