I've been busy, haven't been able to get into the wild much lately but I did got to a local pond for a few minutes. Got a snap of a pair of Black Saddlebags in tandem. Got some eye lens detail on some Halloween Skimmer males and a Blue Dasher.

I spotted a nice butterfly garden near the office at work so I went to check it out. I found a lot of butterflies. The highlight was this Lyside Sulphur. Amazing color like a day-glo butterfly.

Last week, President Trump removed key protections from a marine protected area that's home to coral reefs, whales, sea turtles, and countless fish. My op-ed for @us.theconversation.com explains why that's bad and we should not do that.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

There were a lot of wildflowers around, with a bunch of Antelope-horn Milkweed. I found milkweed bugs (lovely to see), but also found this beast, Apiomerus spissipes, an assassin bug that specializes on bees. When I first spotted them they were trying to snag a honeybee.

Tonight while the USA sleeps, 129 million birds will fly overhead as part of spring migration.
Many will be tiny, colorful visitors arriving from South and Central America, such as warblers.
Migration modeling is fascinating. Yup, that’s BIRDS on the weather radar. 🌿 🪶
