Hey isn't it summer there?! I would get the arthropods and critters now if I were you - fungi can wait till Autumn (oops sorry I mean Fall). Fungi is all we've got right now. Enjoy your summer !!!

Thanks Mark! I'm hopping to get some mushroom pictures soon. Been so dry here though. Also, it's nice to know people actually see my spottings. It seems like most of them go through without anyone seeing them. But then again, I do post a lot of content...

Thanks for the suggestion James, but the Virginian Tiger Moth does not have a orange under wing. I'm thinking this one is Estigmene acrea.
