Busy Wednesday!

So many things to do!  Seems like my list of things to do isn't making any headway.  It is because of all the little details that need to be taken care of.  The park is full of busy detail too.

Like this busy family of milkweed bug nymphs.  They are not full grown yet so their metamorphosis is incomplete..  They have hard shells and need to shed them to grow.  They will shed five times before adulthood.  Each time they shed their exoskeletons, they grow to twice their old size in a matter of minutes!

Although this painted turtle is not busy, she has a busy camouflage of duckweed.

Lastly, the dew revealed the busy workings of a spider.  Her web is still covered with drops of morning dew.  I didn't realize she was hiding under her web.  Do you see her?  The dark body in the center of the picture?

Enjoy!
