Dear All, Apr 21, 2007
Hazelnut was blooming today in sheltered locations in North Alton.
Back in the Kentville Crocus patch, wild bees showed for the first
time this year (Halictids to judge from size), Paper Wasps were active,
numerous small flies, one small perpetual motion beetle (Nitidulid of
some kind) and numerous small Sepsidae strutting on Crocus petals.
These Sepsidae, or flies like them, are fairly common in the yard
from now on. They are small, with shining black, ant-like bodies and
they often wag their wings up and down, after first spreading them
nearly at right angles to the body axis with the blade horizontal.
