Here's our Dunning's miner bee (Andrena dunningi) nesting area, which is densely populated. Unfortunately, the bees weren't that active above ground today. A bee finally makes an appearance at the end of the video. #bees #pollinators #nature

Happy Easter! This morning, we received a visit from a male common green darner dragonfly (Anax junius). A beautiful spring gift indeed! #dragonfly #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #photography #spring

These Dunning's miner bees are the only ones I'm seeing this early. They showed up 4 years ago and now return every year around this time. Gives me something to really look forward to at the start of spring.

Elon Musk is so unlikable that even the most unlikable creeps in the world apparently didn't want him around. 🤣 #Epstein

When I came home from work this evening, I found this poor fellow perched on a meadow blazing star. Who knows how far he's traveled, but his journey is almost over. #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #SaveTheMonarch

Grasshoppers aren't the most attractive insects and can cause quite a bit of plant damage, but they really do have some cool textures. #insects #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #wildlifephotography #photographylovers

Most of the pollinators have packed it in for the year. However, the autumn meadowhawk dragonflies have been putting on a show. I even coaxed a female to land on my hand! #dragonfly #Odonata #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #wildlifephotography #photographylovers

A male silver-spotted skipper butterfly (Epargyreus clarus) in the front yard garden this morning. I know it's a male by its behavior: they will chase dragonflies, birds, and even humans to defend their territory. #butterflies #Lepidoptera #photography #wildlifephotography
