The island's trees were full of adult Mayflies; as such Ring-billed Gulls were busy flying to feed on this bounty. At night, just as dusk was falling, we were treated to the jigging flight of these insects.

Insects are everywhere. Photograph a bug in your environment (no spiders - they're arachnids). (@DeForestRanger)

I expected this to be an easy assignment but the winds today seem to have driven off the bees and butterflies that are usually in the gardens.

This little bug is the most hated pest in our yard. It destroys the grape leaves, the burning bush leaves and so many flowers. We've tried the traps but haven't found them effective. So when they get too bad we take a bucket of soapy water and just pick them off the plants and toss them in the bucket. Anyone have a better plan?

Corydale cornue mâle (ou cornu) by Patrick Andries

Visiteur du soir. Il fait chaud et humide. Un gros insecte s'incruste sur la moustiquaire de mon bureau. Il fait environ 7 cm de long. C'est une corydale cornue ou un corudale cornu (selon les dictionnaires).

Les corydales adultes vivent entre quelques jours et quelques semaines. Un cycle de vie complet (larvaire, nymphal, etc.) peut prendre de deux à cinq ans. L'adulte ne se nourrit pas ou très peu, il est inoffensif pour l'homme.
