Sometimes it's hard to wake up before the early bird and last night's power outage didn't help the cause. Despite a late start and windy conditions we returned to the ecological station field loop for the first time in a week.
We found a couple crab spiders this morning. These spiders don't build webs, but hunt and ambush their prey.
We had some veteran recaptures: a cardinal born in or before 2009 and a vireo that was banded in 2012.
A father and juvenile pair of phoebes was caught.

We caught a new first for the summer.

I never thought I'd find a millipede to be pretty- but look at this beauty I found:
More neat nature:

| Scorpion fly |

| I believe this is a bagworm cocoon, there was a "bag" on the same leaf. |

| Tarnished plant bug |
