Index of Subjects <html> <body> I checked out a wet site this afternoon on Gaspereau Mountain hoping for some different dragonflies. No luck on that but I did find a few things.<br> - flushed three Spruce Grouse when I got out of the car.<br> - A Black-billed Cuckoo called nearby.<br> - 7-8 Aphrodite Fritillaries in the area, all badly worn. (Atlantis is the commoner of the two around here).<br> - 1 Silvery Checkerspot (only managed one pic) Looks like a Crescent ..scarce in NS, I believe.<br> - 1 Hummingbird Moth which the second time around landed on the back of my neck!! (Did not stick around for a photo).<br> - many Longhorn Beetles on Meadowsweet, Queen Anne's Lace & Goldenrod. These were <font face="Verdana">Stictoleptura canadensis, </font>Typocerus v. velutinus</i> & one other (with longitudinal bright red striping & 6 yellow blotches...will post pic later). It is obvious why this group (lepturines- I like that term!!) are so numerous....half of them are busy copulating at any one time!<br> - Lots of wasps, fewer flies & bees.<br> - Lots of Ruby/Cherry-faced Meadowhawks<br> - Common Whitetails, Shadow Darners, Green-striped Darner (Overall dragonfly numbers were substantially less from the past two years). <br><br> Angus<br><br> <font face="Verdana"> <br> </font></body> </html>
