I was out chasing flyers today.

I found many butterflies,

dragon flies,

and wasps.

I am glad I spotted this nest before the wasps spotted me.

I was pleased to see a Hummingbird clearwing/Hemaris thysbe in the mix.

Upon closer inspection, the clearwing was not pleased.

It was being eaten by a Green Lynx Spider/ Peucetia viridans.
This is the exact location I find a “Mama Lynx” every summer.
I hope I can witness the making of the egg sac and the hatching of spiderlings again this year.
Stay tuned for more wings.
