I hate these milkweed beetles... and they're all over, plus they fly!!!

I hate these milkweed beetles... and they're all over, plus they fly... even when they're mating, they fly stuck together!!!

Do they fish for the fun of it? I watched several reddish egrets dance, plunge, and come up with a fish only to drop it a few seconds later. Did it have a bad taste? In some instances, gulls were hovering nearby and quickly scooped the fish up for an easy meal. I had not seen this behavior before and I'm curious if you have seen it. Please let me know in the comments below. Thanks!

 

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

A male house finch spitting out the hull of a seed he was snacking on, and showing his little pink tongue. Backyard bird.

After wrestling a dried up berry from our serviceberry, the Cedar Waxwing apparently decided it didn't like the berry and spit it out. Or maybe it is spoiled by all the fruit on the cedar trees right now...

I think they may be planning to take their cotton candy home and stash it under the bed for some sneak snacking :)

Which was pretty much the same reaction I had to more snow today... white-tailed deer

Hehe I was bored ! xD

This was taken after the rains a few weeks ago. This guy was seeking seeds from the Barrel cactus in the Desert Garden at the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens - not sure what it came up with, but it doesn't look good !! I believe this is a Song Sparrow although it was too busy "eating" to sing !!

Not a particularly compelling scene, but there were so many different aspects to it I had to shoot it.

Must be that mousie doesn't taste as good as it looks!

Visited a farm recently...They had a large pen, half of it with freshly strewn hay, fresh water and food...So where did they go?

Sometimes a pig is just a Pig!

Young Green Heron

Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, PA

My wife didn’t even want to be in my office to look at this creature on my monitor but I don't think the "Yuck" name she gave it is scientifically accurate.

 

We parked by the side of the road and watched this green heron hunt for about 10 minutes as he was very busily hunting for his breakfast in a very shallow wetland pond. Note how the bill of the green heron has penetrated what I think is the head end of the pre-historic creature.

 

All I can see are the two grasshopper like legs near the one end. In all of my years I have never seen something like this.

 

I am interested in any guesses as to what this finless water inhabitant is.

Titan apparently doesn't like the taste of this ball.
