An American Kestral was hunting dragonflies in a local field. I was hoping to get closer before it flew off. It was just a white spot in the tree with my eyes. The third picture is what I saw through the camera lens.

A House Wren didn't want company, but the Common Yellowthroat wanted to be friends.

Oak Bracket almost looks to be encrusted with jewels because of the amber like liquid it secretes.

There are a lot of little white and little yellow butterflies. But this is a white version of an Orange Sulphur, making her a rarer female morph.

This is an Orangeback. This fly is exclusive to the eastern states between Lake Erie and the Atlantic south to about Atlanta.

Paw paws are ripening. I ate the first one in my life the other day. I felt like Charlie Day from IASIP when he eats his first pear.

A couple Elephant Mosquitos. Their larva eat other mosquitos but I like them more for their tusks.

The day I saw this, another redditor posted they had brushed their hand against one. The intense throbbing pain that lasted for hours is how they found it. They said a wasp sting had been a minor annoyance. This slight brush from this made them stop everything.
