    What a wonderful range of creatures and wonderfully photographed.
    And it’s such a good time of year for backyard (or frontyard) exploration

      Thanks Roz. Spring or autumn, here in bris, is usually best. Nothing likes the hot summer that much, some bees maybe. But flower food dries up, more or less, without constant watering.

      If their web from previous night is destroyed, soon after dark they will cast to start a new one and it’s just a matter of knowing where and when to look.
